    Great tutorial…I have a question how to you measure your neck band if not using a pattern piece, so it lays flat. I need to make the neck opening larger so it fits over the head and not sure how to measure the band correctly.

    I purchased the pattern a while back, but finally sewed it up today. Here in Texas, we are still in high 90s and I was ready for something floaty and non binding. I’ve seen tops in rtw catalogs this year, so I was doubly motivated. I’m very pleased with the outcome of my dress in a rayon twill.

    How do you measure for the length of the band on a ready made shirt- no pattern piece

    • @sewjourns7128
      @sewjourns7128 Рік тому

      Hi Meg, if you are using 4 way stretch fabric with 50% stretch and excellent recovery such as cotton Lycra, which is the best choice for a band then measure the opening on the neck hole all the way around at the seam allowance and take 85% of that for your neck band. I like mine cut at 1.75 inches wide some like 2 inches. Then you’ll fold in half and press.
