As a new sewer I would usually suggest that you stick with a commercial pattern that has actual sizes. This is a fairly easy top though. Just cut it as indicated in the tutorial and pin the seams together and try on before you sew it all in place or you can baste it together first. Either way, I can only guess that that it's only the length of your seam that will be different than mine, probably shorter. Good luck~Etcetorizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340556321412795388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615325440440166919.post-56211691991664066152013-06-04T10:05:43.470-06:002013-06-04T10:05:43.470-06:00Just saw this cute, easy project!

Plus, I'd like to wear a strapless bra, so how can I raise it up in the back a bit?

As with all sewing, even commercial patterns, people usually have to make adjustments to personalize a piece, obviously no two bodies are going to fit the same thing the same way.<br /><br />Don't give up. Keep on sewing, and try another halter top with a silky scarf (you can always find cheapy ones to experiment with at thrift stores). And most of all, just have fun~Etcetorizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340556321412795388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615325440440166919.post-91503804857480632872013-03-19T13:26:28.036-06:002013-03-19T13:26:28.036-06:00Hi there! i'm an aspiring sewing and thought t...Hi there! i'm an aspiring sewing and thought that this would be a fun project to start off with..I'm sure its just me but I had a few issues. It fit kind of odd, like the sides were kind of all sticking out. And when i cut down the center i didn't have to cut off any excess material after, so i don't know if that means i did it wrong or not. I used a bandana that was kind of smaller in size and looks stiffer in texture than the scarf that you used seems. Di you think this could have been the cause of any problem? (PS i'm petite too so i just followed the exact pattern you gave)Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180194483584217130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615325440440166919.post-9976156186856642772012-06-27T14:14:02.914-06:002012-06-27T14:14:02.914-06:00Hmmmm, anonymous asked about how to adjust this fo...Hmmmm, anonymous asked about how to adjust this for you lucky ladies with more womanly figures than me. <br />I think first of all, the openings you leave at the ends should be longer, at least to start with. Secondly, you could try making your straps with coordinating fabric and make them wide enough to wear over a bra. To cover your back bra strap you may need to add something across the back. You could do a tringular flap that hands down into the 'V' (just sew it in or attach it with small snaps) or just a wide band. <br />Good luck! Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you~Etcetorizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340556321412795388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615325440440166919.post-12644213059563489672012-06-27T09:38:13.972-06:002012-06-27T09:38:13.972-06:00Very pretty!
