Dear Maám,
Just finished stitching a peasant top for my daughter based on ur measurements and instructions.it has comeout perfectly. Thanks a lot for the same. Can u please check the sleeve width measurement suggested in the peasant top? Initially i took full sleeve width then found that if taken that way, it will not match the diagram. so took half the sleeve width. Then it came out correctly.

Savitha
Sleeve width is different from sleeve round.Sleeve width is half of sleeve round.I feel you must have taken sleeve round instead of sleeveround

Dear Vani,
Thanks a lot. You have given detailed instructions. I had wanted to sew for a long time but didnot know how. This is a very helpful blog. Is this peasant top also suitable for adults or do I have to make changes. Because, I want to make one for myself.
Regards,
Ahalya
