- Sew all the darts of the two pieces.
- Close the outline as far as the notches indicate and turn the pattern over so that the seams are on the inside.
- Fill the Tailor’s Pressing ham with sawdust until it is completely full and close it by hand sewing the rest of the outline.
As you can see, this pattern is very simple to make and it is essential that you have it.
