Simplicity 3536 in Tie Dye Knit

Second top I've made in View A. This time in a beautiful tie dyed polyester?/lycra knit that I found at the thrift store in 2007.

This time I added an extra 4" of ruching to the sides.

  2. The ruching is done with clear elastic. You take a piece of elastic that's about 1/3 the length of the fabric you are ruching. Stretch out the elastic to fit the fabric, and sew it on with a straight stitch. The elastic makes the gathers.
