Welcome to the last day of the Calvin wrap top and dress sewalong. The first thing we are going to do it try on the top or dress as it is to see if we need to make any changes.
Step 16 - To wear, lap the right front over the left, inserting the left tie through the buttonhole and wrapping it around the back to the front. Insert the right tie through the thread chain loop, wrapping it around the back and bringing it back to the front. Adjust the ring and sliders so that the dress / top is sitting at the correct height on your shoulders.
Secure the ties with a bow at the left side opening (when wearing) or center front according to your preference. I decided to tie it in the front this time but it's completely up to you. Trim ties as needed so they are the same length when tied and the length that you prefer.
Check the garment's hem length and shorten if necessary. Mark position for optional modesty snap at center front if desired.
Step 17 - Using a hand sewing needle and thread, sew the socket end of the snap to the outside of the left front at the marking you made.
Sew the ball end of the snap to the inside of the right front at the marking you made.
Step 18 - Fold under the end of each tie by 1/4" and then again at 3/8". Press (steam and starch really helps keep this pressed well).
Stitch along the folded edge to secure end.
Tip: If you put a piece of paper under the tie on your sewing machine it makes it easier to sew that very small bit of fabric.
Step 19 - Fold the bottom raw edge of the garment up by 1/4", wrong sides touching. Press. Fold again by 3/8" for the top and 3/4" for the dress.
Press and pin.
Stitch close to the fold to secure the hem.
Congrats! You are finished.
I hope this sewalong was helpful. If you need to still need the Calvin pattern you can do so here for a pdf or here for a paper pattern.
