Tutorial, part 3 - Yoke to Body

Sew the front yoke (piece A) to the front body assembly, right sides together, with ¾" seam allowance.

Press seam allowances open. 

We recommend reducing bulk by clipping out as much of the seam allowances as possible to about ½" from each of the outer ends of the seam line (center front and armscye).

Repeat for the other side.

Sew the back yoke (piece B) to the back body assembly, right sides together, with ¾" seam allowance. 

Press the seam allowances upward (toward the yoke).

We recommend reducing bulk by cutting away the yoke/body seam allowances at the armscyes in the same manner as done previously on the front.

Note that, from the right side, the top edges of the action pleats should be ⅜" from the edges of the armscyes:
