Tutorial, part 4 - Body Panels

Sew the center front body panel (piece C) to the side front body panel (piece D) with top edges flush and right sides together, beginning at the top and ending roughly 2" above the bottom of the side front. 

(The side front piece will be shorter; the waistband will complete the length of the side panel.) 

Press seam allowances open along the stitch line. 










That may sound a bit weird, but ...



Repeat for the other side. 


Sew the two center backs (piece F) together along the center back seam. Press seam allowances open. 

Sew the side back panels (piece E) to the center back panels in the same manner as done previously with the center front and side front - that is, start at the top, stop roughly 2" from the bottom of the side front, and press the seam allowance open along the stitch line.


After pressing the seam allowances open, sew or baste them open ¼" from the top edge.
