Late to the party but wanted to say thank you for a very helpful tutorial! I am wondering if I wanted to make a knit top with a sweetheart neckline, would there be options to finish the neckline other than a facing or a full upper self-lining? Serge edges, clip at angles, turn under & stitch? With or without strips of clear elastic? Thanks a lot for your suggestions!

In reply to Jo. Hi Jo Yes, the fold line is not clearly marked so may be you are confused. It is the 6 1/2" line .

I might be the only one confused, but I have reread the very first step a few times, and I still can’t understand what you mean by “as you can see the right side line of the square is the fold of the paper” … I don’t see it – where is the fold line marked here? Do you mean your 6 1/2″ line on the 3 different examples?

Sarina,
You are a very good teacher! Thank you very much for the fantastique idea to share your knowledge. I am a dress-maker, studied for three years and certified. Done wedding dresses and suits for the man. However, I forgot how to draft a sweetheart neckline! you make it so easy. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Just one more thing I might mention. My teacher those days used to tell us: ” the best dress you can make when you don’t see the seems.
Kind regards, and happy sewing, Kristina

Hi Karen
When you sew with a facing you usually turn under atleast 1 inch of fabric – if it was a binding it would be different – but with the inward turns in this type of neckline needs a facing. Hope this is what you wanted to know.

This is a great tutorial and well explained. I’m fairly new to sewing and even newer to sewing garments so excuse my newbie questions. 🙂

I would like to try this technique but I’m a bit confused as to why there is so much material leftover that is turned under (shown in step 7 and step 8). Could you not leave just a 1/4″ or 1/2″ and sew it the same way or does this type of neckline need it to provide some stability?

I don’t have a top with this type of neckline to look at but I’m thinking of other neckline types on my shirts and don’t see this much fabric turned under.

Thanks for providing these great tutorials!!
