Cool Peasant top sns and sewalong with step by step pics! DIALup may take a while to load!

For those of you who need a good hand holding like I sometimes do.

So, first get together your supplies: Pattern, fabric of your choice and some 1/4 in elastic. You'll need 18 inches for the neckline and two 8 inch cuts for the sleeves.

Step1: Cut out your pattern pieces.


Step2: Pin a sleeve to the front piece right side to right side. Serge.




Step3: Do the same for the other sleeve.



Step4: Pin the back piece to one of the sleeves, again right side to right side, Serge.



Step5: Do the same for the other sleeve.



Step6: Serge up the arm and side seam on both sides.



Step7: Serge the hems and the neckline edges.



Step8: Fold the neckline over to make a casing to insert the elastic. Sew. Making sure to leave about an inch opening to thread the elastic through.





Step 9: Thread elastic through, and sew the elastic ends together to make a complete circle.





Step10: Sew the opening where you threaded the elastic through shut.


Step 11: Do steps 8-10 for both arms.




Step 12: Hem! And voila! You now have a cute peasant top.

Oh your welcome ladies! My SO took Summer out for the day for me to get some sewing done, so I figured with my alone time I might as well make it really worthwhile....lol

Can't wait to see all the peasant top sns!
