This is a very pretty and easy style top for a casual summer day. There are only 2 patterns pieces for this project, therefore the assembly steps are quite simple. However, your sewing challenge will be the finishing. The hemming will require patience and focus. Don’t rush and using lots of pins will help.

  7. 7

    Serge the seam or zig zag the seam if you don’t have a serger

  8. 8

    Here comes the long step! It’s time to hem the neck and the armhole!
    - Fold up the edge ¼” twice toward the wrong side of the fabric and pin

  9. 9

    Stitch close to the inside folded edge, this will be tricky as your fabric will want to shift and move as you stitch. It will help if you pull the fabric slightly to gain control

  10. 10

    Repeat the same for the armhole

  11. 11

    Hem the bottom edge
    - Fold up the bottom edge ¼” twice toward the wrong side of the fabric and pin

    when you get to the corner, make a little clip to allow the hem to lay smooth
