Great, More Mud…
Next will be the collar and sleeves…
The collar needs to be attached with two visible stitches, so I’ve pinned the outer seam first, then pinned the inner seam…
The collar was then stitched in place with two stitches…
Now, for the sleeves… The sleeves have a weird, long “cuff” type thing which appears to have a hidden seam where the fold is. So, to do this, I’m going to try folding the sleeve and running a stitch where it needs to be…
Here are the sleeves with the hidden cuff seam added…
Special note: Since this sleeve is sort of tricky to construct, with the cuff end actually being the INside of the sleeve and the rest being the OUTside of the sleeve, you have to plan ahead a bit.
For the hidden cuff seam, you must make sure you make your fold OUTside to OUTside, so you’re sewing the seam on the OUTside.
Next were the hems at the end of the sleeve. You must make sure you do this seam in reverse of how you would normally do it. So, in this case, you fold it over on the OUTside and stitch it…
And, here are the finished hems. As you can see, the finished side is actually the INside…
Next will be the long seams. They have been pinned up…
The long seams, sewn…
Special note: I didn’t realize this until after I had already sewn this stitch on both sleeves, but in order for the folding thing to properly work, you have to split the seam at the hidden seam, and sew this long seam in opposite directions.
So, in other words, the seam for the upper part of the sleeve gets sewn toward the INside, while the cuff portion gets sewn to the OUTside (matching the end hem).
