I’ve never added bias tape to an arm hole and I couldn’t really see from the video what you were doing when you added the bias tape. A view of that from the inside after you’d completed it would be useful too.

Thanks for your feedback

What pattern is the top you are wearing. It looks lovely on you.

Thank you for posting. What I have noticed consistently with this pattern is that most of the time at the neck yoke piece there is an extra bit of fabric that that causes the fabric not to lay flat. Think I'll make a muslin first.

No harm in a muslin first! Thank you!

I'm making this top view E, and struggling a bit. Thanks a lot for this sew a long. I've decided that it's a trial run. I'm using cheap fabric, so it's kinda like what people call a muslin. My shoulders are narrow due to being very petite, so I willl have to adjust the yolk when I try this pattern again. Currently I'm working on the sleeves and having difficulties with the tiny, rolled hems. Thanks again.
