This option controls the depth of the armhole in the Brian block Aaron is based

on.

This option applies to the new v3 way of calculating the armhole depth.
|
||||
If you enable the [legacy armhole depth](/docs/designs/brian/options/legacyarmholedepth) option, this option will not apply, but instead it's legacy version [armhole depth factor](/docs/designs/brian/options/armholedepthfactor) will.

In any case, Aaron allows the armhole to drop much further using the [armhole drop](/docs/designs/aaron/options/armholedrop) option.
|

So you probably don't need this option from the underlying block, but it's there if you'd like to tweak it.

title: Binding width
|

|
||||
|
||||
Controls the width of the knit binding on Aaron.
|
||||
|
||||
The default knit binding width is 6 x the seam allowance.
|
||||
For metric users with the default 1cm seam allowance, this results in a 1.5cm wide knit binding which is a good value.
|
||||
|
||||
For imperial users (who have a default seam allowance of 0.5") or users who choose to use a larger seam allowance, the value of 6 time the seam allowance will probable result in a knit binding that it too wide, so this option allows you to control that.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This option is expressed in percentage of the seam allowance. So the default is 600%, or 6 time the seam allowance.

|
||||
### Step 1: The Pocket
|
||||
|
||||
- Along the top of the pocket fold the seam allowance to wrong side, press.
|
||||
- Then fold the top hem allowance to wrong side and press, making sure the seam allowance is tucked underneath. Pin in place if you need to.
|
||||
- Press the seam allowance of the sides and bottom to the wrong side.
|
||||
- On the right side topstich close to where the hem edge lies underneath, making sure to catch the hem and seam allowances as you sew.
|
||||
- Pin the pocket to the front using the guides.
|
||||
- _Edgestitch_ the sides and bottom of the pocket leaving the top open. Make sure to backstitch at the start and end to secure the pocket properly.
|
||||
|
||||
:::tip
|
||||
|
||||
If you have trouble catching the top hem we suggest to either _Baste_ close to the hem edge first, and use that as a guide when stitching on the right side or pin the hem edge down from the right side making sure the pins are parallel to the top edge and use them as a guide.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
There are multiple ways to sew a patch pocket so use the way you prefer if you do not like this one.
|
||||
A fun thing you can do is embroider/stitch the pocket with the name of the person the apron is for or even a cute design. Just remember that aprons typically get dirty so don't go to overtop with it.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: The Front
|
||||
|
||||
- Press under the side seam allowances to the wrong side.
|
||||
- Press under the side seams to the wrong side along the hem lines making sure the seam allowances are tucked underneath.
|
||||
- On the right side topstich close to where the folded edges lie underneath, making sure to catch the hems as you sew.
|
||||
- Repeat Step 2 for the top and bottom hems.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended to hem the side seams before the top and bottom seams as they are narrower.
|
||||
The side seams are narrow hems simply being the seam allowance folded over twice.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: The Straps
|
||||
|
||||
- Fold one strap in half, right sides together and sew the top and side together.
|
||||
- Turn inside out through the bottom. Press.
|
||||
- Using the cross and rectangle as a guide, stitch the top of the strap to the wrong side of the front on the top left.
|
||||
- Using the cross and rectangle as a guide, stitch the bottom of the strap to the wrong side of the front at the side right.
|
||||
- Repeat Step 3 for the remaining strap attaching it at the top right and then the side left.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
You can make another set of straps to tie at the back if you wish to keep the apron close to body when moving.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Enjoy!
|
||||
|
||||
You're done! Now go enjoy your apron and make every stain a memory!

## Designer Notes {#notes}
|
||||
|
||||
Albert was something that I didn't plan on making. My daughter, who's a visual
|
||||
artist, asked if I could make her an apron. Of course, I could not deny her
|
||||
such a request. And since I didn't have a pattern, I needed to make one. And
|
||||
that meant that I could just as well make one for FreeSewing while I was at it.
|
||||
|
||||
The design is simple, since an apron generally is. And yet, where else than at
|
||||
FreeSewing can you get a bespoke apron?
|
||||
|
||||
This is a very good project for a beginning sewist.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## What You Need {#needs}
|
||||
|
||||
To make Albert, you will need the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Basic sewing supplies](/docs/sewing/basic-sewing-supplies)
|
||||
- About 1.25 meters (1.4 yards) (depending on the length of your apron) of a
|
||||
suitable fabric ([see Fabric options](#fabric))
|
||||
|
||||
## Fabric Options {#fabric}
|
||||
|
||||
An apron works best with a fabric that is sturdy, tightly woven, and easy to clean.
|
||||
In addition, make sure to go for a natural fibre and in any case something that is
|
||||
heat-resistant.
|
||||
|
||||
Heavy cotton, chino, canvas or denim are all excellent choices.
|
||||
|
||||
When in doubt, go for raw denim (pure cotton, if it stretches it's no good).
|
||||
|
||||
## Cutting Instructions {#cutting}
|
||||
|
||||
- Cut **1 front** on the fold
|
||||
- Cut **1 pocket** on the fold
|
||||
- Cut **2 straps**

There are three variations of this pattern. **One Colour**, which is where the bikini top is made out of one colour. **Two Colours**, where the bikini top is made reversible by using two colours, and **Cross Back Tie Variant**, where the neck ties tie in the back replacing the band tie.
|
||||
|
||||
## Materials
|
||||
|
||||
### One Colour (Non-Reversible)
|
||||
|
||||
**Main fabric**
|
||||
|
||||
- Cut **4 cup** parts.
|
||||
- Cut **2 neck tie** parts.
|
||||
- Cut **1 band tie** part.
|
||||
|
||||
### Two Colours (Reversible)
|
||||
|
||||
**Main fabric**
|
||||
|
||||
- Cut **2 cup** parts from main.
|
||||
- Cut **2 neck tie** parts.
|
||||
- Cut **1 band tie** part.
|
||||
|
||||
**Lining fabric**
|
||||
|
||||
- Cut **2 cup** parts.
|
||||
- Cut **2 neck tie** parts.
|
||||
- Cut **1 band tie** part.
|
||||
|
||||
### Cross Back Tie Variant.
|
||||
|
||||
**Main fabric**
|
||||
|
||||
- Cut **4 cup** parts or Cut **2 cups** from main and lining if making reversible ties.
|
||||
- Cut **2 neck tie** parts or Cut **2 neck ties** from main and lining if making reversible ties.
|
||||
- Cut **1 band** part if making cross back tie variant instead of band tie variant.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This pattern is easily made reversible by buying a similar fabric to the main fabric and using it as contrast. To save confusion on instructions it will be referred to as the lining fabric.

### Main and Lining Fabric
|
||||
|
||||
The main and lining fabric are the same type of material. Bee is made with swimwear fabrics such as lycras.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You only need lining fabric if you intend to make the pattern reversible or if you want the band for the cross back tie variant to be a contrasting fabric. Otherwise you can cut all the required pieces from your main fabric.

The notches in this pattern act more like dots so **do not** clip them to mark them.
|

:::
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Construct the Neck Ties
|
||||
|
||||
#### Neck Ties One Colour Method
|
||||
|
||||
- Fold one of the neck tie pieces in half lengthwise, right sides and raw edges together.
|
||||
- Sew along the raw edges, leaving one of the short ends open.
|
||||
- Trim the seam allowances and clip the corners.
|
||||
- Turn inside out and press.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
Repeat this for the other neck tie:::
|
||||
|
||||
#### Neck Ties Two Colours Method
|
||||
|
||||
- With right sides together, sew one main neck tie to one lining neck tie leaving one of the short edges open.
|
||||
- Trim the seam allowances and clip the corners.
|
||||
- Turn inside out. Press.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
Repeat this for the remaining neck tie pieces:::
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: The Cups
|
||||
|
||||
#### Band Tie Variant
|
||||
|
||||
- With raw edges and main fabric together, _baste_ one of the neck ties to the top of one of the cup pieces making sure that the tie goes towards the bottom of the cup.
|
||||
- With the neck tie sandwiched inside, pin a lining cup piece right sides together to the main cup piece.
|
||||
- Sew the lining to the main cup between notches along the front, top and side seams, making sure not to catch the neck tie and to reinforce the stitch at the notches.
|
||||
- (Optional) Fold to the wrong side and _edgestitch_ the seam allowance down between notches on the front and side seams. Do not sew the allowances together.
|
||||
- With good sides together, sew the lining to the main fabric along the bottom, leaving a gap between the side notches making sure to reinforce the stitch at the either end.
|
||||
- Trim the seam allowances of the sewn edges whilst leaving the seam allowance between the notches. Clip the corners. You may also need to clip the curved seams.
|
||||
- Turn inside out by pulling the neck tie through one of the gaps. Press.
|
||||
- (Optional) _edgestitch_ the top, sides and bottom of the cup leaving the gaps between the notches open.
|
||||
- Stitch along casing line to create band channel.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
Repeat this for the other cup:::
|
||||
|
||||
:::tip
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If your seam allowance is wide you may find that you need to trim the gaps' seam allowances a little to reduce bulk.
|
||||
If you are having trouble turning the cups you can try one of these methods:
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a 2.5cm (1") gap in the front or side seam and turn through that, either _slipstitch_-ing the gap closed or _edgestitch_-ing it closed during Step 7.
|
||||
- Widen one of the existing gaps and turn through that. Then when turned _edgestitch_ or _slipstitch_ the widened part closed.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Whilst certainly optional it is recommended to _edgestitch_ the top and sides of the cups but the bottom is entirely optional.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
#### Cross Back Ties Variant
|
||||
|
||||
- With raw edges and main fabric together, _baste_ one of the neck ties to the top of one of the cup pieces making sure that the tie goes towards the bottom of the cup.
|
||||
- With the neck tie sandwiched inside, pin a lining cup piece right sides together to the main cup piece.
|
||||
- Sew the lining to the main cup along the front, top and side seams, making sure not to catch the neck tie.
|
||||
- Turn the cups right side out and press.
|
||||
- (Optional) _edgestitch_ the top and sides of the cups.
|
||||
- Sew a line of basting stitches along the bottom of the cups, just inside the seamline.
|
||||
- Gather cups along the basting stitches.
|
||||
|
||||
:::tip
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The amount you gather the cups is a matter of preference and cup size, but you can hold them up to yourself before stitching in place to ensure the fit is right.
|
||||
There are also notches on either side of the band piece's midpoint to help give you an idea of how much to gather by.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
- Find the midpoint of the band piece, this is marked by a notch, then pin the gathered bottoms of cups to band piece, right sides together. You'll want the cups to meet at the band's midpoint.
|
||||
- Stitch the cups to the band. Once they're stitched in place, check the fit of the cups once more before continuing. Unpicking swim fabric is a pain, so it's better to make sure the cups fit just right before moving on.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You may prefer to wrap the one cup over the other at the midpoint. To do this place the sides of the cups at the outer notches and lay their fronts pass the midpoint with the left on top.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
- Now it's time to finish the band. To do this, fold in the seam allowance on both sides of the band. The raw edges of your swim cups should be turned to the inside of the band. Then, fold the band in half lengthwise, aligning the long edges and enclosing the seam allowances. Swim fabric can be slippery, so you may need extra pins or clips to hold the fabric in place.
|
||||
- Stitch along the top of the band, securing the seam allowances within the band.
|
||||
|
||||
:::tip
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
For extra support, you can also add swim elastic into the band, either by stitching clear elastic into the band's seam allowance, or by threading swim elastic through the band at this point.

- At this point, the band is a long tube with open ends. Next, we'll be sewing those closed while providing a loop to thread your neck ties through. To do this fold over one end of the band towards the inside of the swim top. The amount you fold over should be, at minimum, the width of your neck ties plus a seam allowance. Stitch the end down to create a loop at least as wide as your neck ties. There will be a lot of pressure on this point, so make sure your stitching is secure, and consider running a second line of stitching next to the first, for additional support. Repeat for the other end of the band.
|
||||
- To thread your neck-ties for cross back ties, take the tie from the left cup and thread it through the loop on the right side of the band, from top to bottom. Thread the tie from the right cup top-to-bottom through the loop on the left side of the band. Then tie the neck ties at center back to secure the swim top.
|
||||
- Skip to "Step 5: Enjoy!"
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Band tie
|
||||
|
||||
You only need to do this step if making the band tie variant.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Band Tie One Colour Method
|
||||
|
||||
- Fold the band tie piece in half lengthwise, right sides and raw edges together.
|
||||
- Sew along the raw edges, leaving one of the short ends open.
|
||||
- Trim the seam allowances and clip the corners.
|
||||
- Turn inside out. Press.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Band Tie Two Colours Method
|
||||
|
||||
- With right sides together, sew the main band tie to the lining neck tie leaving one of the short edges open.
|
||||
- Trim the seam allowances and clip the corners.
|
||||
- Turn inside out. Press.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Putting it all together.
|
||||
|
||||
- Thread the band tie through the gaps along the bottom edge of the cups, making sure the front sides of the cups are in the centre and that the main and lining sides are on the respective side.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Enjoy!
|
||||
|
||||
Hooray, your Bee Bikini Top is finished!

To make Bee, you will need the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Basic sewing supplies
|
||||
- About 0.5 - 1 metre (0.6 - 1.1 yards) of a suitable fabric ([see Bee Fabric options](/docs/designs/bee/fabric/))
|
||||
- (Optional) About 0.5 - 1 metre (0.6 - 1.1 yards) of lining fabric ([see Bee Fabric options](/docs/designs/bee/fabric/))
|
||||
- (Optional) Ribbons/Tapes/Cords for neck ties and bands, with the same length and width as neck tie and/or band.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The lining fabric is only needed if you want to make this pattern reversible. If you don't, you only need the main fabric.
|
||||
You can use a serger/overlocker to construct this pattern but it is not mandatory.
|
||||
Ribbons/Tapes/Cords can be used instead of making custom ties. Just make sure to get more than you need and that you cut down to size after construction.

I made Bee together with Prudencerabbit, as they wanted to make a swimwear pattern that went along with a previous freesewing pattern.
|
||||
It is based on a garment they made and wanted to make available for other people make as well.
|
||||
We worked of FreeSewing's body block Bella as a base, converting it to a single dart block to make the top.
|
||||
During pattern testing one of our contributors TangerineShark made a variant with crossover back ties which we found so cool we added it to Bee!
|
||||
You can get this variation by using [option Cross Back Ties](/docs/designs/bee/options/crossbackties/).
|
||||
Bee can also be made reversible by using options [Reversible](/docs/designs/bee/options/reversible), [Duo Colours Ties](/docs/designs/bee/options/duocolorties) & [Neck Tie Colours](/docs/designs/bee/options/necktiecolours).
|
||||
With the previous pattern being retired you can use [Uma](/docs/designs/uma) to make a matching bikini bottom.

|
||||
#### Cross Back Ties
|
||||
|
||||
- 2 neck ties
|
||||
- No band tie
|
||||
|
||||

###### Bella is a block, not a pattern
|
||||
|
||||
A block is a basic shape on which other patterns are based.
|
||||
They are sometimes also called slopers, although purists will argue that a block and a sloper are different things.
|
||||
|
||||
Blocks are typically not made as-is but rather serve as a basis for other patterns so the instructions below will not go in depth about closures or finishes and are for the default Bella block.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Mock-up Construction
|
||||
|
||||
- Close the front bust and waist darts.
|
||||
- Close the back darts.
|
||||
- With _good sides together_ sew the backs to the front at the shoulder seams, _easing_ the backs to fit the front.
|
||||
- With _good sides together_ sew the backs to the front at the side seams.
|
||||
|
||||
:::tip
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you are making adjustments you may wish to sew the seams _wrong sides together_ to make them easier to adjust.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bella has a back dart only when it is needed, based on the measurements
|
||||
and design options.
|
||||
If the back dart is not needed then it will be omitted from the pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Try it on
|
||||
|
||||
- Try it on and check the fit by pinning the back closed whilst wearing it.
|
||||
- Make any alterations and try it on again.
|
||||
- Repeat until you are happy.
|
||||
|
||||
:::tip
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have someone to help with pinning, you may find it easier to cut the front part in two with seam allowance rather than on a fold and sew the back seam up so that you can pin in the front when trying on.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep an eye out for anything you keep doing whilst wearing the mock-up, are you pulling it down? Constantly adjusting the shoulder? etc. Things like these are signs of where the pattern may need adjusting.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes you may need to wear the mock-up for an extended amount of time to get a better sense of the fit so don't be afraid to walk around in it for a couple of hours.
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Remember to treat Bella as a basis rather than a final product, so adjust what you need to get the desired look.
|
||||
For instance:
|
||||
|
||||
- Change the neck line
|
||||
- Add/change the closure allowances
|
||||
- Alter the dart placements
|
||||
- Add a collar
|
||||
|
||||
It is all up to you! Experiment and go forth!
|
||||
|
||||
:::
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Make a paper pattern
|
||||
|
||||
- Once happy with all your changes unpick your mockup and make a paper pattern based off of it.
|
||||
- Now you have a pattern you can use to produce a garment.
|
||||
|
||||
:::note
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It is best practice to make a paper pattern from the mock-up if you have made any alterations, as this will allow you to clean up any lines but also means you have a pattern that you can keep producing garments from.

This block was a collaboration between myself and an industry insider who prefers to remain anonymous because of her profession.
|
||||
|
||||
It is the parametric version of a base block for womenswear that is used in the industry in Italy to design womenswear.
|
||||
However, while the block will adapt to your measurements, the original block that it is based on is in really not suitable for a very wide sizing range.
