How to sew7 steps
  1. Cut and markCut every piece with the grain arrow parallel to the selvedge. Transfer the notches, the dart points 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. DartsSew each dart from the wide end to the point, the last stitches right on the fold. Tie the threads at the point, do not backstitch. Press waist darts towards the centre, bust darts downwards.
  4. Side seamsSew the side seams. Neaten and press open.
  5. Wrap edgesTurn and stitch narrow hems down both wrap edges before the waistband goes on.
  6. WaistbandSew the band to the waist with the ties extending past both wrap edges; fold, press and stitch the ties closed, then topstitch the band.
  7. HemPress up the hem allowance and catch it by hand or with a blind hem stitch.
