Awww thanks so much to all and wellcome to class its a lovely weekend for me and I hope it is for u too
Been trying to post since but etisalate dey show me pepper.but anyway let's go.

So when making a cowl neck just like other neck lines and tops we go back to the basic principles of bodice.(Front and back bodice of a garment) in order to get this we need our measurements

So I will work with one of my students measurement,Ngozi she's a perfect small size

Shoulde-12
Neck wide- 6
Neck deepth 7
Bust. 26
Waist. 22
Hip. 26
Lenght. 25


So in all her measurement the bust and hip is the same and are the biggest so we use that to place our fabric on fold,fabric for the front part on fold as well as fabric for the back side on fold.

Eg that 26÷4=6.5
Out of these we need just 2 for the front
6.5 x 2= 13

On this 13 for the body area of the front I will add seam allowance which is 1.5 on both sides making 3.in total I will have 13+3=16

Now the Neck part,because of the way the neck is we must factor in facing on the same fabric.I call it self-facing
Generally u have to determine how deep u want the neck to be and this would determine how wide we need to make the shoulder cut
