<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cut all the pieces on marked lines, except back piece side seam cut straight it will allow extra fabric for drats. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: small;">After cutting the katori and side pieces you need to increase its size by 1/4" to accommodate seams.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Note: Cut katori such as it should have equal amount of fabric at both sides of the dart.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Finishing
seams is necessary in order to increase the durability of cloths and
make them look tidy from inside. A finished seam </span><span style="font-size: small;">prevents
fraying of your fabrics and gives it a professional look.</span><span style="font-size: small;">There
are quite a few ways to finish your seams.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">Prinked
Seam:</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Prinking
sheers make a lovely pattern and also useful for finishing seams. A
pinked seam finish is a simple but only useful for fabric that don’t
easily fray. </span></span>

<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am so glad I can knit, thanks to
guys who posted some good knitting videos on Youtube. I am knitting my first project – A
scarf (neck warmer) for my husband and I am glad it is coming up really nice. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am using navy blue colour chunky yarn
and 5.5mm circular bamboo needles. I casted on 25 stitches which
makes it 16cm wide. The pattern I chose is a basic and beautiful
garter stitch! </span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Instructions: </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Take 10x12” piece of same fabric and same size interfacing</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Place the facing on table</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Place the front side kameez on top of the facing</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Pin the facing with the kameez neckline</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Draw on the facing and cut on the line you drawn</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Cut away the excess facing </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now place the kameez on the table-right side up, then place the fabric facing on kameez neckline, then place the interfacing on top and pin them together</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sew the facing to the kameez neckline with ¼” allowance</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Nip the edges of the facing this will allow easy and neat sewing</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Turn the facing inside and sew it (not with neckline)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Iron the neckline</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally hand hem the interfacing with kameez so it will look neat and tidy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
