Instructions

*I did not take under-construction photos when I made this top, so instructions will just be in written format only.
*All machine-sewn seams are sewn using a stretch stitch with a stretch needle
​

1. Print out the pattern pdf and cut out the patterns. Cut all the pieces out of cotton jersey.

2. Pin, and sew shoulder seams using a stretch stitch and a stretch needle.

3. Sew back opening seams, and cuff ends of sleeves. *Option - stitch a coloured band along sleeve edge.

4. Hand-baste sleeves into armholes, and hand-baste neckband around neckline, stretching the neckband piece to fit. 
    Machine sew all seams.

5. Pin sleeve and side opening seams  and machine stitch.

6. Fold neckband ends inward, then fold neckband lengthwise into inside, pin and hand-stitch. Fold bottom   
    hem to inside and hand-sew. (photo is from KID T-shirt tutorial, but it's done the same)
