So here is how my first toile of the bamboo top went;
I think it worked really well and I think the pattern It makes
is extremely effective. For this toile I didn't add any seam allowance as I
wanted to see how it worked first. So I've gone back to my pattern and re-drawn
it and added 1.5cm around the edge.
I then neatened the edge as I wanted it to be straight. I will be adding
sleeves to the top - I am thinking one puff sleeve with petals on top which I
will hand sew only at the top so they can move, hope that made sense ! And then bias bind the neckline and hem.
To sew the tucks I have to sew on the wrong side with small
tacking stitches. I am going to be doing another toile of the top and that one
I will be sewing as it will be in the final garment so I will share with you
how that goes too.
