The first step (if you don't have a centre back seam) is to sew and stabilise the shoulder seams. It is crucial to stabilise the shoulder seams in a knit or jersey garment otherwise they can stretch out of shape with wash and wear and ruin the garment. Pin the front bodice to the back bodice at the shoulder seams with the pins on top of the front b...
Next it is time to prepare the neckline for sewing. I like to iron some fusible seam tapeonto the neckline for this purpose. It is stretchy and will stretch with the fabric as you wear it, but will also help it to maintain its shape preventing it from stretching out.
If you look at knit and jersey ready to wear garments they very often have a neckband that feels a little stiffer and more substantial than the rest of the garment. I like to recreate this effect by ironing some stretch interfacingonto the back of the neckband before I sew it to the bodice.
To make sure the neckband is evenly distributed around the neckline I like to quarter the neckband and neckline then match them up to pin in place. To quarter the neckline find the centre front and centre back by lying the shoulder seams directly on top of one another, then mark with a pin. Next lie the garment with the centre front and back on top...
Stitch the neckband in place gently stretching it as you sew so it matches the neckline. If using an overlocker you can cut a section out of the neckline where you plan to start sewing (I would recommend towards the back) and this will help you to achieve a neat finish without any bulky overlap. If sewing a 5/8" seam cut a section 1/4" wide and lon...
I like to use the traditional method for overlocking the sleeves in place. First pin the sleeve to the bodice, right sides together, around the sleevehead and armhole matching the notches and shoulder seams. Stitch in place and press the seam allowances towards the sleeve. Next pin the side seams and underarm seam together, right sides together and...
Finally it is time to sew the hems. If necessary use the same seam tapewe used around the neckline to add some stability around the hemline. This will also help to stop the hem stretching out of shape with washing and wearing. Press the hem up and stitch in place from the right side using a coverstitch. Give the garment one last press et voila you'...

5. Sew your jersey dress. Place the front and back right sides together. Clip or pin in place. Sew the shoulders and side seams. Sew the open pockets closed (you’ve already attached them previously). Backstitch over the pocket attachments when you reach that part when sewing the side seams.
