Truing the Patterns of Your Tops
Let’s take a look at 90-degree angles 📐 and continuous seams ♾ for top sewing patterns. The main rules for tops 👚👕🥼👔 are as follows:
Top Pattern Truing Rules
- The center front and center back seams or folds should always be at a 90-degree angle 📐 (unless you have a v-neck).
- The armhole is generally also at 90-degree angles 📐 for the front and back (the sleeve therefore follows that same shape).
- When the side seams are joined, the armhole should be smooth and continuous ♾.
- When the shoulder seams are joined, the armhole and neckline should be continuous ♾, without anything pointing out.
If you ever need to alter your patterns, make sure you control them at the end, cross-checking that you are following these truing rules and using the right tools.
