Sew a drapey, gauzy, layering piece in next to no time to quickly top any outfit. Sewer Ashley Nickels demonstrates how to use a comfortably-fitting oversized t-shirt to make your own template, cut your fabric, then stitch together with underarm seams. A rolled-hem foot makes finishing the edges a breeze with options provided for a double-fold hem option. 
Here’s what you’ll need:
  • Two yards fabric in rayon, voile or lawn
  • Oversized T-shirt to trace for the pattern
  • Chalk or marking pencil
  • Sewing machine with matching thread
  • Rolled hem foot or iron and ironing surface
  • Fabric scissors

Very clear instructions with detailed video and tips along the way. Perfect for new sewers like myself who own, but have never used a rolled hem foot or worked with tricky fabrics like rayon. I also really appreciate the neck hole measurements. It can’t cut a neckline to save my life. It’s the most frustrating part of the Basic Top pattern. This tutorial shows you how to create it using proper measurements.

I've made two--one in rayon crinkle, another in cotton gauze. Great for cool summer evenings and a perfect "palate cleanser" after sewing a more involved project.
