Truing the Patterns of your Tops

Let’s take a look at 90-degree angles šŸ“and continuous seams ā™¾ for top sewing patterns. The main rules for tops šŸ‘ššŸ‘•šŸ„¼šŸ‘”are as follow:

1. The center front and center back seams or folds should always be at a 90-degree anglešŸ“. (Unless you have a v-neck.)
2. The armhole is generally also at 90-degree angles šŸ“for the front and the back. (The sleeve, therefore, follows that same shape.)
3. When the side seams are joined, the armhole should be smooth and continuous. ā™¾
4. When the shoulder seams are joined, the armhole and neckline should be continuous, without anything pointing out. ā™¾

If you ever need to alter your patterns, make sure you ā€œcontrolā€ them at the end, cross-checking that you are following these rules and using the right tools.
