All the sewing is done on the inside (the back of the fabric) so the seams do not show. To help illustrate this I have colored the "fabric" (actually paper) purple on the Back and left it white on the Face.

The first pieces we stitch together is the three parts that make up the Body. This is fairly easy.

Lay the large body piece "face" up (our marking underneath). Lay the Front pieces on top "face" Down (our marking on top) on top of the larger body piece. Picture #1

Aline the stitch lines and stitch along the Shoulder seams (the Yellow line on our pattern). Sew right on the markings we made on the fabric. See Picture #2 and #3

Lay everything flat. chech your seam is strong. Picture #4

Flip the assembled Body piece flat so all the "faces" is up. See Picture #5

Time to sew on the sleeves.
