So if you have some extra sheer fabric laying around now why not take this opportunity to turn it into a summer essential. Meg will cover everything from marking the seamlines, interfacing placement, buttonholes to finishing the delicate edges with stitching and bias. In the last lesson she will also transform this pattern into a more wearable top for everyday! The loose nature of this pattern means it will fit a wide range of sizes well, and the self made belt cinches in the waist beautifully fitting it to the wearer perfectly.
