Step 3 - place material flat with lycia material facing upwards, place front and back patterns ontop,pin down and draw around with chalk then join up the bottom of the armholes to each other this is negative space this will be cut out. Before cutting negative space we screen printed the front a nude torso in black ink


Step 4 - once screen printing is dried Sew together the front and back sides up to the arm hole


Step 5 - place the circle patterns on the lycia material and cut each out. 4 circles


Step 6 - fold over 1 circle to the other and sew all the way around, do the same to the other one. This creates the tunnel
