DIY Smocked Summer Top: Pattern Making & Sewing Tutorial!

Hey friends! I've been sewing these fun smocked tops for summer, and today I'm showing you how to make them!



To Calculate the width of the bodice pieces:
Bust Measurement ÷ 2 x 1.5 + 1.

Example: 34 ÷ 2 x 1.5 + 1 = 26.5


Elastic Thread: https://www.amazon.com/Dritz-NA-Elast...


(One spool was plenty for some practice and almost both shirts-- I started using a second spool for the second top.)



Fabric I used: https://bobbieloufabric.com/collectio...
