HOW TO CUT A YOKE.

LESSON 24.

The yoke can be cut for every garment.

This yoke is placed on a regular foundation of blouse pattern. In order to begin raise at the back from T to Z and I to R, 1 1/2 inches and cross a line from Z to R. Now divide from R to Z which makes D. From D to K is 3/4ths of an inch towards the arm hole.

In order to make 3 scallops, on the whole width of back. Now connect a scallop curve from T to J, and from J raise up a curve up to R lost to the armhole; this makes one scallop curve from K to J, and 1/2 of a curve at T which will make these three scallops when the back is opened. At the front, we raise up from F to E and from V to R is 1-1/2 inches. Cross a line from E to R and divide which makes S. From S to Q is 1 inch towards the front of the armhole and raise a line down from Q to W. Now make a curve from E to W and from W to V. This will also make 3 scallops when the front is opened, allow for seams on both parts, upper and under parts, on the front and back.

Seams for this part shall be 1/2 of an inch on each side in case of an overlap seam, allow about 3/4 of an inch especially for the raising part for such.

This diagram is completed.
