Granny Gown, part two





Set machine to longest stitch and sew two rows of basting all around, making sure NOT to cross lines of stitching.  Pull bobbin thread to gather neck and shoulder circle, making it roughly match size of yoke.

Position yoke piece as shown, adding pre-gathered lace in-between, if using.
With right sides together, sew yoke piece to body.
Turn right-side out and press flat. 
Trying it on for size. Almost done!
Use 1/4 inch elastic because hem tape tunnel is very narrow.
For Mum-Mum's size, cut two 14-inch pieces of elastic. Attach small pin to one end and push through hem tape tunnel, anchoring at one end before pulling all the way through. Anchor (sew firmly) at other end.

Starting at elastic sleeve edges, sew right sides of body together. Turn right side out. Press and hem. All done!
