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.

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.

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. :)

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.

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.
Add bias binding to neck
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

  3. I love your skirt patterns with automatic calculation and simple instructions.
    About the nightie, i don't know much about Britich sizes (I'm French) so what do you mean by 2T ? Can you give me your daughter height and waist to use as reference ? My daughter is only 3 but she is tall and still has a "baby" round belly. She wears 4 and 5 year old clothes in France. I guess "2T" will be too small for her ? Thanks in advance for your help.

    1. How could I miss a comment!
      Yes, 2T would be really small for her. It is for 2 yrs age. My daughter has a round belly too but since it is gathered size around belly is not a big problem. Also the length could be any. Only the chest and shoulder needs to be right. My daughter measures around 53cm chest. I still haven't got around getting the other sizes done. Its on my todo list though!

    2. Thanks for your answer ! I will probably wait for the other sizes and not try adjusting myself the chest and shoulders.
      I hope your todo list isn't too long ;-) !
