How to sew12 steps
  1. Cut and markCut every piece with the grain arrow parallel to the selvedge. Transfer the notches and the marks with tailor's chalk or a short snip into the seam allowance.
  2. InterfacingFuse interfacing to the collar, stand, cuffs, waistband, facings and front edges before sewing anything.
  3. PocketsMake the pockets and flaps and set them on the fronts while the pieces are flat.
  4. ShouldersSew the shoulder seams, the back eased onto the front. Press open.
  5. Collar and facingsSew the facings to the fronts, the under collar to the neckline and the top collar to the facings; turn, roll and press the lapels and collar into shape.
  6. SleevesEase the sleeve cap with two rows of long stitches and sew the sleeve into the open armhole flat, matching the notches.
  7. Side seamsSew the side seams and the sleeve underarm seams in one line, from the hem to the sleeve end.
  8. HemTurn up the hem twice and stitch, or catch it by hand.
  9. ButtonsMark and sew the buttonholes, then the buttons opposite them.
  10. Trousers: seamsSew the side seams, then the inside leg seams. Turn one leg into the other and sew the crotch seam in one curve, twice.
