Print and assemble pattern.

Lengthen or shorten pattern if desired.

The back piece is cut on the fold.  For the front piece, fold the fabric in half, to cut 2 pieces at once, but not on the fold.  (This way you will have 2 separate pieces that are cut in opposite directions.)

Cut out pattern pieces, transferring the “stop sewing” mark on the side.

Step 2:  Cover up assembly.

Fold neckline edge and hem with a narrow 1/4 inch seam allowance

Repeat for the sleeve edges.

Repeat for the inside cover up edge:

Line up the side seams and sew down to the “stop sewing” mark.

Fold the vent hem a scant 1/4 inch, press.  Fold another scant 1/4 inch, press again and sew.  Be sure to finish the side seams with your favorite seam finishing method.

Fold the bottom hem 1/4 inch, press, fold another 1/4 inch, press again and sew.
