I made this shirt out of the scraps I had left over from the Sabrina dress I made.
It seriously took me at least 7 tries to get the elastic band in! I kept sewing it instead over around it. Auuuggh.
The hem is a nightmare also. Either I cut it wrong, or the rounded front edge is just impossible.

You have lovely material! I think that it turned out very well even with your troubles.

None the less, it doens’t look bad. At least you’ll know not what to do next time you make this top. Practice makes perfect. ;o)
