Sewing Instructions
Seam Allowance
3/8" unless otherwise noted
1. Fold and press your shoulder straps wrong sides together and place the angled end of your
straps along the top right side of the chest piece. The raw edges of your strap should be facing
out and lined up with the raw edges of the chest piece.
3. Press your seam down along your lining and edgestitch your seam to your lining. To do this,
sew along the top edge of your lining, ⅛” from the seam.
4. With your front bodice facing down and your back bodice pieces facing up, line up the straps
along the top of the back bodice matching them up at the corners.
6. With right sides together, place a strip of binding along one raw edge of the bodice and sew
with a 3/8” seam allowance.
7. Press your binding and seam allowance away from the bodice.

9. Fold your binding again, so that the folded edge, just covers your stitching. Press and pin in
place.
10. Working from the right side of the fabric again, sew close to the inside edge of the binding,
making sure to catch the binding on the wrong side as you go.
12. Sew along the bottom edge of your fold, leaving a 1” opening to insert your elastic.
13. Use a safety pin to insert your elastic through the opening. When your elastic is all the way
around, overlap by ½” and sew together. Sew the opening you left in the skirt closed.
15. Finish the bottom edges of your front and back bodice with a serger or zig zag stitch, and
mark the centers.
16. Place your front bodice on the inside of the front skirt, matching up centers. Sew your bodice
to the skirt.
19. To make the belt, fold in half with right sides together and sew with a ¼” seam allowance
down the long edge.
20. Turn the belt right side out and press with your seam in the center.
22. Center your belt over the elastic and hand stitch in place along the sides to hold it in place. I
placed a stitch in the center of the belt under each bodice edge (front and back).
