SLEEVES - ALL VIEWS

 

All the Bonnie versions have the subtle gathering at the sleeve head so the next few steps cover them all.

Stitch your machine to a baste stitch and stitch 2 lines of stitches along the top of each sleeve head;Between the marked notches and within the seam allowance. Leave long thread tails on each end.

Apologies i've used a light colored thread which is obviously hard to see in the photo.

Grab your bodice and with right sides together place each sleeve in flat to each bodice armhole, matching the notches on the sleeve with the notches on the bodice armhole.

Pin each sleeve place.

 Stitch each sleeve in place.

Below is what you're left with.

BODICE SIDE SEAMS - ALL VIEWS

Right sides together pin the bodice side seams and sleeves together. Stitch the bodice side seams together in one continuous stitch.

TA DA! You've successfully attached your sleeves and nearly finished your Bonnie bodices!

All we have tomorrow in the final post are our sleeve and bodice hems, add the waistband if you're sewing up View A & B and we're done!
