Introduction and Techniques
The Bacca Top is worked top down. The collar is folded over and finished with an i-cord edge to give the top stability. The front and back are closed in the round, and the length of the top can be adjusted as desired. Finally, fruits are embroidered on as you like according to provided colour charts of 7 fruits. You can choose from watermelon, peach, strawberry, cherry, apple, lemon and orange :)
