    With right sides together, sew the side seams of the shirt. Press open or toward the back.

  5. Attach the sleeves.
    Fold each sleeve lengthwise and mark the center (this aligns with the shoulder seam). Pin the sleeve to the armhole, right sides together, matching notches. Sew and finish the seam.

  6. Hem the bottom and sleeves.
    Fold the raw edge of the bottom hem to the wrong side by 1 cm, then again by another 2 cm. Press and sew. Repeat the same process for the sleeves.
