Jan commented on the blog post 'Refashion Tutorial - Long Sleeves to Bow Sleeve T-shirt'"That is such a cute idea! My daughter (9yo) has some long sleeve tees that I was just thinking about that I needed to do something to revamp them for summer....bows it is!!!!"

Jan replied to the discussion 'Bias top from 2 squares' in the group Everything Sewing!"You give very good verbal directions, because I think I "get" it now! I kept thinking that one of the pieces, if not both, would be cut into triangles. So, on the smaller square, would the edge that you cut to make it into a triangle (the…"
L Hutch replied to the discussion 'Bias top from 2 squares' in the group Everything Sewing!"Jan, I have made several of these using the original "incorrect" instructions...they worked just fine and made a nice short sleeved shell. The revised instructions make the same thing as a big shirt or jacket with longer sleeves.

Jan replied to the discussion 'Bias top from 2 squares' in the group Everything Sewing!"Thank you, Alie, but that was the page that I had seen that gave me the whole idea. From what I read in the comments, it's only made with the 2 different sized squares (one of each), but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. I…"
Ags replied to the discussion 'Bias top from 2 squares' in the group Everything Sewing!"Jan...I don't know if you've already found what you're looking for or not. But here's a link to a Threads page where it discusses incorrect instructions for the top, which were given in the original article. There's quite a…"
A discussion by Jan was featuredBias top from 2 squares
This is the first time for me to post here so, hopefully, I do okay! Anyway, I saw on another sewing blog where a popular sewing magazine had an article on how to make a top out of 2 squares of fabric. The website has how to measure the squares (one is twice as large as the other) but not how to put them together. Also, I'm not sure whether you cut them on the bias or it gets the bias from the squares being turned sideways in construction.Does anyone know how to make one of these tops? I think…See More

Alexia said… - Hello Jan, and welcome to the site. I am from Southeast Louisiana and mom of three, 22 yr son, and 18 yr old twin girls. I also work part time as a substitute teacher and wish I had more time to sew. It is my favorite pastime activity. On days like tody when I have no substitute assignments I will spend all afternoon at the sewing machine, neglecting other household chores just to sew. It is also my stress reliever and creative outlet.
