This was really helpful. I’m not really a designer, I haven’t gone to any fashion school but I have interest in sewing. So when I saw this I picked up a fabric and followed all the steps. I made some small mistakes but I really love the result. Ps: It’s the very first top I’ll make.

Just recently found this site. Many excellent tips. I have been sewing for many years, but only recently making my own patterns. I have looked about a bit and likely missed it, but I cannot find the seam allowance used for the patterns. Are we using 1/2” for all clothing? Are you using 1/4” for things like bias strips? Thanks again.

In reply to Sarina. Ah great, thanks Sarina that’s how I calculated it. It does look a bit strange though (but may be due to doing for a child), so may need to adjust a little.

In reply to Yvonne Wiltshire. Hi Yvonne The calculations are as written on the pics. Hip is divided by 4 first and then added extra allowance ( for the fullness, seam etc)

I am half way through this project which I chose as my first as was ‘easy peasy’ ? however the calculations have really confused me. And now I think I have messed it up. In the measurement calculations should the extra inches be added to the hip/bust measurements before dividing by the 3,4 or 6” stated or after?

Why not sew side seams together before applying binding.? What are the seam allowances? Confusing about adding 1 inch at top & bottom…is that included in A-B or extra???
