stitching
The suggested fabrics for this
garment are stretchy with
good drape, which look great
on the finished garment but
as the back pieces are cut
across the bias, these can
stretch if you aren’t careful.
An easy way to avoid this is
to sew a single row of straight
stitches within the seam
allowance of each diagonal
edge. This will prevent your
back pieces from sagging.
Stitch it
