- Whether using a serger or a sewing machine, please sew 1/2" seams and 1/4" hems. A serger can be used on everything except sewing the neck ties and back ties.
- With right sides facing, sew shoulder seams.
- Hem sleeves.
- Sew side seams.
- Make 4-5 clips in the armpits so that they won't pucker when turned right side out.
- Hem back openings and bottom edge. If the back edge is cut on the selvage, feel free to make the hem bigger than 1/4" so that the selvage doesn't show on the right side. Make the hem on the other side match.
- Line up center of 48" bias tape with center of front of gown.
- Fold bias tape over edge of gown neck.
- Pin to hold in place while sewing.
- Zig zag from one end of the neck tie to the other end, making sure the gown does not slip out from between the bias tape.
- Sew the back ties into place, about 8" down from the neckline.
Voila! You're done! Wasn't that fun?!
