Channel: Sew DIY
Date: 2023-09-06

Welcome back to the Eva Tops & Sundress pattern sewalong. In today's video, we will be sewing the bodice from start to finish. This pattern has three views, a crop top, a peplum top and sundress. If you are making the peplum top or sundress, you will need to come back for the next installment when we sew the peplum, skirt and patch pockets. If you are making the crop top, you can follow along with this video, then hem the bottom, add the lacing and you will be finished.
