Zoey Sew-Along // Day 3


If you are sewing View B of the Zoey Ensemble, you will have a few more steps today, but is should be a fairly quick sewing day.


View B only:  For each of your casing strips, fold the long edges to the wrong side 1/4" and press. Press the short ends to the wrong side 1/4".


Pin the wrong side of the casing to the wrong side of the bodice where marked. Topstitch close to the edge along the long sides.


Using safety pins feed the 1/2" elastic through the openings at each end. 


Secure the elastic by stitching through the casing at elastic at each end. Trim any exposed elastic.


View A and B:  Hem the bottom by folding the bottom raw edge to the wrong side 1/4" and then again 1/2". Stitch close to the folded edge.



Install snaps or create (6) 1/2" buttonholes along the wearer's right side where marked. Attach 6 buttons along the wearer's left side.

You are halfway to a complete Zoey Ensemble!!
