Let’s Get Started!! Today we will sew our top. If you are making View A, you will also connect your top to your bottoms.

I have 4 different tops that I have sewn on video for you to watch. This pattern has a multitude of combinations that can be made, so I might not have sewn the EXACT combo of choices that you have made for your top. Having said, that I have made each option, so between all 4 videos, you can watch the parts that apply to the top you are sewing!

The options in this pattern are all pretty interchangeable. For example, I did the strappy front on the Deep V and the Tie Front on the Full Coverage. You can totally do the Tie Front on the Deep V or the Strappy front on the Full Coverage. So do not let the options I chose trip you up.

I also do not have it on video how to do the tie back, but the exact same sewing method as used to sew the halter ties is used on the tie back (you would just use pattern piece 9 for the halter ties that go behind your neck and pattern piece 10 for the ties that go in the middle of your back). If you want to see how the behind the back ties are sewn, watch the video on one of the halter backs where the halter ties are demonstrated.

Now let’s get into the videos. You can watch the four tops I have sewn in the following videos:

(1) Deep V FRONT with Pullover Halter BACK

(2) Deep V Strappy FRONT with a Pullover U BACK

(3) Full Coverage FRONT with a U Swim Hook U BACK

(4) Full Coverage Tie FRONT with a Swim Hook Halter Back

If you are making View A, HERE is the video for connecting your top to your View A bottoms.

Thanks for sewing with me! This post completes our sew along. Tomorrow and Sunday will be catch up days if you need the extra sewing time to finish up (or to make another!). Make sure you find my post on Sunday, June 2nd, and show me what you have made to be eligible to win prizes from our sponsors – a $25 gift card to Raspberry Creek Fabric, a $25 gift card to Made Whimsy, and a free Greenstyle Creations pattern!!

I can’t wait to see what you have made and to sew with you again. I also hope that I have inspired you! You may follow me on Instagram or receive updates by liking my page on Facebook.
