Last time, we sewed the center back seam, made a button loop and stitched the vent at the back neck. Good work! Now we're ready to make the top take a shape. Today is going to be a little bit easier than the last round, perfect for a Monday, right? Let's get started!

Now that we've done all of our preparation work and cutting, we're finally ready to start stitching! So, thread up your machine in a color that matches your fabric and insert a fresh machine needle. And let's get started!

Now that you have your pattern assembled and your fabric pre-washed, it's time to cut out the fabric pieces. First you'll need to fold the fabric on the straight of grain. Hold your fabric up in the air with right sides together and selvages meeting. The fabric should hang straight without any diagonal wrinkles. Adjust the selvages left and right until it hangs straight. This might take a little practice to perfect but you'll soon be able to recognize when your fabric is not lined up correctly.
