Aanchi nightie attach yoke

Last step here today : Let's us attach the yoke to the body. I should have used a better fabric here that shows the right and wrong side of fabric differently. I promise when I do the multi size version I'll make another tutorial with a better fabric. It is hard to make out from here I agree.
Sew the shoulders right sides together for both front and facing pieces as shown.

Sew the back button closures right side together forming a huge circle

Fold the back closure and this is how it looks.

Notch up front and facing yoke. For the front notch up between the yellow points. For the back notch up from yellow point up until the back opening. Refer here to refresh on notching, clipping, concave & convex.

Another pic for clarity

Start to attach such that the body is enclosed between the front and facing yoke. I have taken multiple photos here but due to the fabric choice it is hardly visible. Couldn't dare back out at this point. :)
Right side of body with right side of front yoke
Wrong side of body with right side of facing yoke.

Sew the 3 layers together making sure there are no puckers.  You could do a basting stitch first and then check if there are any puckers and if not sure regular stitch over it.

This is how it looks.

Cut the extra fabric after seam to 0.7 cm. Cut one of the yoke longer than other (called grading I suppose) - which one I'm not sure yet.

Remove the gathering stitches.

 Iron the yoke so that the front yoke rolls over slightly on top of the facing.

Now time to attach the bias binding to the neck. Fold over a cm wrong sides together on the bias binding. Start to attach the right side of bias binding to wrong side of fabric.

 Towards the end again fold wrong sides together 1 cm and pin

Align the button closure with the end of bias binding. Sew on the first crease

 Fold over the the right side of fabric pin along and sew.

Done!!
