2. From right side of garment, topstitch side seams 1/8 away from seam line. This will force these seams to lay flat under your toddlersarms, making the garment more comfortable.

3. Turn up hem to wrong side of garment, press, turn up another , press again, and stitch.

Make and add the straps

1. Fold straps in half lengthwise, wrong-sides-together, and press. This marks the center of the strap.2. Open up fold and then fold each long edge to center and press.3. Re-fold the entire strap in half lengthwise along that original fold line. Press again.4. Stitch straps closed very near the long, folded edges.5. Insert about of each strap into the openings you left in the front bodice. Pin in place.6. Topstitch each front bodice piece separately along curved edges, catching straps in place as you sew.7. If you want the top to be a halter, put a knot near the loose end of each strap, and youre done! If you want the straps attached at the

back, move to step 8.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you make your child a halter-top or dress, always supervise your child closely and never let her nap in the top. Strapscan get tangled in all manner of things, so make sure your child stays supervised and safe!

8. Put the top on your child and pin the straps in place at the back. (This will be different for each child so Im not indicating a length.) Myone piece of advice is to put them a little closer to the center than you might think, because this will help them stay up on your childsshoulders.

9. Securely sew the straps in place near the top edge of the back. Trim excess just below the bottom of the top casing (there will be quite a

bit of excess).10. Finish raw edge of strap, and tack to back along lower edge of casing.

Congratulations! Youre ready to beat even the Louisiana heat this summer
