• Since the product consists of several parts, it is necessary to overlay the edges of all of them with a zigzag seam or using an overlock, then sew the seams on the sides. The back of the seam is not completely sewn up, there should be an outlet for the fastener. Its edges are bent and stitched, departing from the edge by 1 cm.
• Then, over the skirt, make a stitch with sufficiently large stitches, pull it well so that it is 4 cm shorter than the yoke.

Important! Make sure the folds are even.

• After this, sew the yoke, try to align it to the center as much as possible. In this case, the joint should be in the zone of the fastener. Sweep the edges of the yoke.
• Fold a strip of yoke several times to stitch its ends from the inside.Unscrew them, bend the free part, seize with the help of thread and needle with your hands. Then flash on the typewriter.
• Sew and hem the hem. Sew a button on the yoke, make a loop on the opposite side.
• Sew the straps from the wrong side, twist them. Sew to the sundress in such a way that the edge is hidden from the inside. Try on the baby product, cut off the extra length at the straps. Sew them close to the clasp so that they do not fall off the shoulders.
• Beautifully decorate the outfit along the hem, on the straps with the help of a frill, embroidery, border or ribbons.
