Adjusting bottom fabrics
- Fold bottom front fabric in half, place both bottom fabrics on top and pin. - Draw a stitch at the top outside 2.5 cm from the side (1"). - Draw a stitch on the side 7.5 cm from the top. - Draw a line and cut.

Step 2: Sew the bottom fabric

Sew the bottom fabric
- Sew the bottom fabrics together (except the back). - Don't sew all the way to the bottom so you can cut the fabric at the bottom for a witch effect. - Cut at the bottom with triangles for the witch effect - no hemming.

Phase 3: Preparing the top fabric 1/2

Preparing the top seam
- Pin the two front fabrics together. Draw a stitch 1cm (1/2") from the shoulder. - Draw a second stitch on the inside from 6.5 Cm (2.5") from the bottom. - Draw a line following these stitches, cut. - Sew the two fabrics together in the middle, then hem the neckline.

Step 7: Sew the sleeves
