Description

I saw a nice top on the internet and decided to recreate one for myself. This is my first how-to, I hope it makes sense!

Instructions

  1. Small nautical top 002 1254570725

    Get your top and fabric, my top was just a cheap Primark find and I cadged the fabric.

  2. Small nautical top 004 1254571610

    Cut a piece of fabric (10" x 7" approx) and lay it across the top section of the vest.

  3. Small nautical top 005 1254571891

    Sew the fabric to the top, making sure it's even on either side of the stitches.

  4. Small nautical top 007 1254572012

    Pin the fabric to the top, tucking the frayed edge under, and sew using a neat backstitch. Repeat on the other side.

  5. Small nautical top 011 1254572161

    Pin and sew on a small square of fabric (1.5" x 1.5") to the middle of the bow, fold and sew as before.

    Taa Daa! All done :)
