Pin the overlapping fabric of the zipper to the side.
13 ) Sew the right front piece and the zipper including the zipper foot. Warning: in the end the right front piece is 1 cm longer than the finished bottom cuff on the fold.
14 ) Lay front and back piece right sides together and close the shoulder seams. Press the sewing allowances to the back.

20 ) Pin undercollar to the head opening, right sides together and sew. Sew “around the corner” like this: stop 2cm before the corner, leave the needle down in the fabric and lift the footer. Next make a notch of 0.9 cm in the seam allowance of the corner of the head opening (heed the mark in the pattern) and carefully pull apart. Sew as far as the corner; again leave needle down in the fabric and turn the jacket by 90 degrees, lower the footer and sew. It is important that you sew just above the notch to avoid leaving a hole. Press seam allowances of the front pieces apart, of the back piece upward.

Now “pull up” the hemline including facing and turn over: the right part of the hemline (heed mark), the front edges and the edges of the collar over the front facings and the upper collar.
24 ) Notch the seam allowances in the corners of the hemline diagonally, notch carefully along the curve of the collar using pointed scissors.
25 ) Turn facings to the inside of the jacket and sew along the diagonal seams. Turn over the bottom cuff (where there is still a raw edge) by 1cm and hand-sew to the seam allowance. In the same way turn over the seam allowance of the upper collar head opening by 1cm and hand-sew to the seam allowance.
