I made a hepburn top from some lovely nautical stiped fabric and had some left over so am making outfits for the girls. This was made with the very last section of the scraps. I had about 30cm x60cm and some long thin strips left so I decided to make a pussey bow tunic to match the pussey bow top. I didn't draft this as a pattern and just kind of winged it. So I made the shoulder seam by folding the rectangle in half and then cutting out the head hole! I used a t-shirt to get the approximate size. It seems to have worked. Sewing Notes 1) Fold the rectangle in half and mark where the arm holes are. 2) Hem the arm holes. 3) Sew the side seams 4) Hem the bottom 5) Cut the neck hole. 6) Pin the pussey bow strips lightly to the neckline to see how long then need to be. 7) Fold the bow in half, right sides together, and sew the bow sections. Turn right side out. 8) Attach the neck sections of the bow to the neckline. 9) Top stitch around neckline. I used a narrow zig zag for the seams and top stitching (B 1.5mm), a wide zig zag to hem (D 1.5mm) and an overlock style stitch to finish the side seams (E). And the full stripey look paired with some leggings!
