ADVICE FOR WORKING WITH STRETCHY
FABRICS:
You can achieve the best results from working with
stretchy fabrics when using an Overlock machine. The
seams will be especially elastic so that they won’t rip
when wearing the garment. If you don’t have an
Overlock machine, stitch the seams using a special
elastic stitch or a narrowly adjusted zigzag stitch. Be
aware that the thread tension shouldn’t be too tight.
For delicate knit fabrics use a Jersey needle that has a
rounded needle point and won’t damage the fabric.
1 To stitch the edges (e.g. along the pocket) use a

DOUBLE NEEDLE. Stitch onto the right side of the
fabric with two needle threads and one bobbin thread,
while using a straight stitch adjustment. The bobbin
thread stitches zigzag stitches at the same time. That
results into an elastic seam line and a fabric that won’t
stretch out when stitching.
SHIRT
POCKET
Neaten the edges
2 Turn the allowances inside and pin, press. Stitch the
edges ½” (1.2 cm) wide. Turn the allowances of the
top and bottom edges, pin and press.

front piece. Stitch along the top edge and the side
edges using a double needle.
APPLY SLEEVES
4 Pin the front sleeve edge on the armhole part of the
front piece, right sides facing. The cross lines 2 meet,
then stitch. Stitch the back sleeve edge on the back
part of the armhole (seam 1). Trim allowances, neaten
altogether and press inside the sleeve.
BOTTOM SLEEVE AND SIDE SEAM

5 Position the front piece on the back piece, right sides
facing. Fold the sleeve lengthwise. Pin the bottom
sleeve and side seams. Stitch. Trim allowances,

6 Fold the cuff in half, pin the open edges together,

wrong sides facing.

7 Pin the cuffs stretched out on the bottom sleeve
edge. The seams meet. Stitch the cuff using a flatly
adjusted zigzag stitch (seam 6). Trim allowances and
neaten altogether.
WAISTBAND
Position the waist band pieces together, right sides
facing. Stitch SIDE SEAMS. Open allowances. Fold
the waistband in half, pin the edges together. Pin the
waist band, stretched out, on the bottom edge of the
shirt; the seams meet. Stitch the waist band using a
flatly adjusted zigzag stitch. Trim allowances and
neaten altogether.
HOOD
8 Position the hood pieces together, right sides
facing. Stitch the center seam. Trim allowances and
press to the side. Stitch the seam ¼“ (0.7 cm) wide,
catching the allowances (8a).
9 Pin the hood on the neckline (seam 4), right sides

facing. The hood cross lines meet the cross lines on
the sleeve. Stitch the hood. Trim allowances and
press inside the shirt. Stitch the seam using a double
needle, catching the allowances.
PLACKET
Position the plackets together, right sides facing.
Stitch the center seam. Fold the allowances apart.
Fold the plackets in half, pin open edges together.
10 Position the right and the left end of the placket

together, the centers meet. Stitch the edges together.
Press a supporting little piece of interfacing onto the
front corner of the neckline (image 11a).
11 Pin the placket, slightly stretched, onto the

neckline, the centers meet. Pin the placket (seam 5)
and stitch using a flatly adjusted zigzag stitch. Stitch;
beginning and ending at the front center. Snip in the
center of the front piece, close to the stitch line (arrow
11a). Trim allowances, neaten altogether and press
