you should have two pieces that look like this. sew up the sides and hem the bottom. |
|
| now cut across the chest. this is where your top band is going to attach. |
 |

 |
cut a long strip of stretchy fabric. it should be the length of the measurement around your shoulders, minus about 2 inches.
EXAMPLE: cut a 38" long strip of fabric if you measured 40" around your shoulders. |
|
 |
the strip should also be twice a wide as you want it to be.
EXAMPLE: if you want a 2" band, cut a 4" wide strip. |
|
 |
fold the strip in half lengthwise, with the outsides facing in. sew along the edge. |
|
 |
now you should have a long tube of fabric. turn it right side out. |
|
 |
sew the ends together. you should now have a loop of fabric that will serve as the top band of your top. |
