4.  Place the lower sleeve at the top of the upper sleeve. Right sides facing.  Sew horizontally, so you will make one long sleeve.

5.  Open and press the seams.

6.  Waistband:  Take the front and back waistband and sew the sides.  Press the seams flat.DSC_0257 DSC_0258

6.  Fold it in two.DSC_0262

7.  Place the waistband with the bodice together.  The folded part of the waistband must be facing upwards, so you match the raw edges of the bodice with the waistband.

Sew along.  Remember to match the side seams.

8.  Now fold the sleeve and sew the seam.

10.  Insert the sleeves into the top.  Remember to match seams.  Sew along the armhole.DSC_0271

11.  Turn the sleeve to the wrong side.DSC_0272

12.  Fold the neckband into two and sew along the side.DSC_0273

13.  Now, fold the neckline as you did with the waistband. DSC_0274

14.  Pin the neckband to the neckline of the t-shirt.  Remember that the neckline is 1/4 smaller than the neckline on the top, so you must need to stretch at the shoulders to make sure it matches the top.

15.  Sew along and press the seams downwards.DSC_0275

16.  Top stitch the neckband by making a 4.5 stitch length parallel line on the neckline.  The line must be about 1/4 inch away from the original seam.

Repeat this process on the waistband.

17.  Finish the top by making the hem on the sleeves.  Fold the sleeve 1 inch from the bottom and sew along. You can make two parallel lines or use a double needle to do so.DSC_0276 DSC_0277

And that is all!
