Sewing the layers together<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to do sew the layers together is to join both layers at the neckline right sides together.&nbsp; Use a medium straight stitch, this is to avoid the top from stretching at the neckline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will notice through the first layer that you can see the seam allowance, this is fine with me since I am using a serger.&nbsp; You might feel different since you are using a zigzag, in that case, you can sew the wrong side of the inner with the right side of the outer layer so when you wear the top, the seam allowance is inside and cannot be seen through the sheer fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67625 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5-250x188.jpg 250w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px;
