| 4.Also mark F (front) or B (back) to differentiate the pieces |
 |
| 5.Stitch the shoulders and the sides of Front & Back holding them together |
 |
| 6.Now, your side stitch will end at hip notch;fold the cloth from hip till bottom to make side slit |
 |
| 7.You may use allpins for needles to hold the cloth together and for ease of stitching |
 |
| 8.If you wish to hem the side slits,increase the stitch length to 5 otherwise 2.5-3 will do |
 |
| 9.Stitch all four sides of side slits |
 |
| 10.In case of shortage of cloth for sleeves, we may add cloth as side panel or joint to increase width of our sleeves;like we have done here |
 |
| 11.Hold all pieces together using pins |
 |
| 12.Now stitch the sleeves and remove the pins |
 |
| 13.After stitching the sleeve,turn it inside out |
 |
| 14.Place this sleeve inside of our armhole making it look like this;joints meeting together |
 |
| 15.You may use pins to make sure joints are meeting on top and bottom of armhole |
 |
| 16.Starting from the shoulder,start stitching pulling the fabric slightly to fit the sleeve in the armhole |
 |
| 17.While stitching on joint of armhole,pull the extra cloth of side and sleeve slightly away from the stitch to get smooth finishing and ease of wearing this sleeve |
 |
| 18.After turning inside out, your sleeve will look like this |

| 19.Now let's finish the neck by taking a one inch strip of diagonally/biased cut cloth |
 |
| 20.To make a biased strip,take a square cloth and fold it diagonally.Now cut a 1" strip. If one strip is short,you may stitch together one or more strips with it |
 |
| 21.Place this strip on the right side of the neck,leaving about 1" of strip out which could be folder at a later stage and start stitching putting the strip lightly |
 |
| 22.Leave 1" strip at the end of the neck also |
 |
| 23.It looks like this now |
 |
| 24.Fold this cloth inside from side as well as start and end also stitching carefully |
 |
| 25.Congratulations ! We done it! |
