It's a one arm/shoulder slightly loose with tie top .M6118 I have come up with 2 hem options, but I can't decide which one looks best with the top. Please help! One is a coverstitch and the other is a rolled hem. Please vote!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Thinking about it, my pick might be with the cover stitch hem so as not to have the solid color of the rolled hem laying against my pants or leggings. I'm always concerned about my backside view so I would also consider which hem would be most likely to hang straight down on the backside. I would think that might be the heavier hem. Thanks for the reminder to do a little sewing for my sis. What a great pattern you are working with! ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.

The coverstitch, to my mine, looks....not as nice. Plus, do you really need a horizontal white line accentuating the width of your hips? ;)
