Join In: Here is the pattern.
Step 1: Take your four sleeve pieces. Overlap two of them and sew around the curved edges.
Step 2: Clip curved edges
Step 3: Turn inside out
Step 4: Iron
Step 5: Take two belt pieces. One should be your printed material the other should be your solid color material.
Step 6: Sew them, right sides together on the long sides. Using a large safety pin, pin through the short end of the solid color fabric and push the pin through the belt, turning it inside out.
Step 7: Clip the shorter ends of the belt to points. (sorry for the overexposed image)
Step 8: Fold in the pointed edge you just cut and sew closed on each end.
Step 9: Topstitch entire belt. This means just stitch along the outside edges so that the belt will stay flat.
Step 10: Take your two collar pieces and overlap them.
Step 11: Stitch them, right sides together LEAVING THE STRAIGHT EDGE UNSEWN.
Step 12: Clip corners and edges.
Step 13: Turn right side out and iron.Step 14: I don’t have a photo for this last step because obviously I accidentally overexposed the whole shoot. But take your little belt loops and fold each in half lengthwise. Stitch on the long sides. Take a very small safety pin and turn inside out. Iron.
Done for today.
Like not spending money?

Jennifer,
The button band is not on the pattern. I just mentioned it at the end of Monday's post.
Cut out two button bands from the fabric.
They are 2.2" x 18.75 - 20.5" depending on your size.
Dear Kathleen,
question for the collar pattern you shared: wich size should I chose for a 40 sized dress? Sorry I am not familiar with the different sizes.
Do you plan to add pockets to the dress? I love pockets, I think, I will add them, just wanted to know, how you will go forward.
Thank you for your endless patience!
