The Olympia and Athena Jacket - Flat Fells / Part 5

A flat fell is a strong seam with two lines of stitching showing on the right side that is produced by folding one raw edge under the other and stitching it flat or slip-stitching it on the wrong side.

While seam directions are a personal preference and can be changed, we suggest the following for construction:

Front / Side Front - Towards placket

Side / Back - Towards the back

Back Left and Right - Towards the sides

Back yoke - Fold top seam to lower back 

Shoulders - ront seam long and back seam cut and fold towards the back

To Begin:

Sew the two pieces of fabric WS to WS and press open.

Trim one seam down to approximately 1/4”

Fold the larger seam over the shorter seam, and press as you go, pinning to hold the fold in place.
