Sewing Instructions
-
Cut two mirrored front pieces and one back piece on the fold. Cut the top and bottom straps twice on the fold. Mark all the notches.
-
Double-fold the center front seams (2 x ¼ inches or 0.5cm) and stitch.
-
Baste stitch between the two notch marks on the front pieces and pull the thread to create a gathered effect.
-
Sew the front of the top to the back along the side seams.
-
Sew the top and bottom straps (front and back) along the sides and outer edges. Pull them the right side out. Pin and stitch the straps to the blouse, matching up the side seams, making sure to align the notches to create a peek-a-boo effect as well as a wrap overlap detail at the bottom.
-
Add an elastic band along the back top strap. Optionally, add an elastic band around the bottom strap.
