What You Will Need
- ÂĽ yard of 2-way or 4-way stretch fabric (scraps are suitable); be sure to align the pattern with the fabric grain or indicated stretch arrow
- Four small pieces of binding, (I found precut binding works well)
- Two side bust strings, at least 1 yard in length each
- Matching thread
- Overlock machine / zig-zag stitch on a regular sewing machine
- Binding Foot is optional (I never used one)
Pattern Assembly
- Using a serger or an overlock stitch, finish both longer outside edges of the top pieces (1) for a clean look.
- Stay stitch binding (2) to the top and bottom edges of both bust pieces (1). Leave about a ½” overhang on each end of your binding strips.
- Fold and tuck the binding (2) in and under and securely attach to (1) with a stretch stitch. Trim off any extra ½” at the center and side edges for a neat finish.
- Add your chosen accent—like a ¾” ring—by inserting the small center ends of both top pieces (1) into the ring. Fold the fabric over the accent and secure it with a straight stitch (switching to a zipper foot makes this step easier and more precise).
- Sew a ½” loop for casing on each of the larger sides of the top (1) to create channels for the sliding string.
- For the side bias slider strings, cut two pieces (3)—each 36” long (feel free to adjust the length as needed).
- Fold in and secure the 36” side strings (3) with a stretch stitch to finish the bias strings.
- Use a string turner to thread the string through the side channels you created.
- Secure the slider string (3) end with stitching or tie a knot at the end to prevent fraying.
