Garment construction and sewing involve:

1. Cutting:

The first step is to lay out the pattern pieces on the fabric according then the fabric is carefully cut along the pattern outlines.

2. Assembly:

The fabric pieces are then pinned or clipped together along the designated seam lines, matching any notches or markings. Using a sewing machine the pieces are joined together following the pattern instructions.

3. Finishing:

Once the main seams are sewn, the garment may be ironed to set the seams. Any remaining details such as zippers, buttons, hems or decorative elements are added at this stage.

4. Fitting:

If needed, the garment may be tried on or adjusted to ensure the fit is just right.
