In step #7 the instruction says to shorten the elastic by 1 cm, can you clarify this please? Does this mean from the overall length? In step #6 you say to leave extra elastic over the edge of the side seam, could you please quantify this? I can't tell from the step 7 photo if the now shortened elastic still has overhang? Will you please explain why the elastic now no longer quite lies flat against the fabric?<br /><br />Thank you!Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03373901147644280498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-85122108471277700532018-12-17T22:36:22.984+00:002018-12-17T22:36:22.984+00:00This is brill!

Jsut wish I was using a medium weight fabric as the light weight jersey stretch is proving difficult to manipulate. It’ll look good in the end. Just finishing touches to do. And yes I agree the mid line between top of boob and middle of boob works very well, much better than an under boob design. Thanks for sharing. Hoping the next top isn’t. Going to take as long, and yes, it’s a medium weight, thankfully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-78583301739070062162016-10-21T22:50:34.814+01:002016-10-21T22:50:34.814+01:00Do you think this would work for a pre-made shirt?...Do you think this would work for a pre-made shirt?Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125211319087185583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-22927268660980429462015-08-16T20:24:49.947+01:002015-08-16T20:24:49.947+01:00I just saved this to my favorites, under the headi...I just saved this to my favorites, under the heading of: sewing for baby. Since it really is for the baby and because I'll see it every time I go to sew for a baby!

I fussed so much about having "nursing-friendly" clothes during the early months of my girl's life, but I eventually just got to a system of wearing a stretchy camisole/tank top underneath whatever else I was wearing. Then I would pull up the top shirt, pull down the tank top, and nurse that way. It was discreet and make dressing easy, as I could then wear pretty much any top as long as it was pull-up-able!
