Now, it's time to sew the seams. This yarn can be a pain to work with. It can break when you are trying to sew, but it's hard to make a mistake that won't be hidden.
Sew up both of the sleeves first. Then sew the shoulder seams. Leave 3" unsown for the front. Now sew the sleeves on and go right down to sew the side up after the sleeve. Do it to both sides.
Weave in all ends.
You can add flowers, buttons or edging if desired.
