I found the diamond mesh ribbon at Dollar Tree.
You can get it in three or five row width, I think three rows is best for this top.
Swing Top Supplies: soft knit fabric, diamond mesh ribbon, velcro, glue.
Directions:
- Save pattern to your computer, use the scroll button on your mouse to make the line equal 1". Print or gently trace the pattern onto paper and cut out.
- Cut one piece from soft knit fabric.
- Cut approx 5" strip of diamond mesh (24 rows long).
- Glue diamond mesh onto the straight top of the fabric. The glue I used to hold the diamond mesh to the fabric was Aleene's Fabric Fusion. It worked very well!
- Glue small piece of velcro to the back to close the top. Hot glue works best for attaching the velcro (unless you want to sew it on).
- Tip: If planning a group craft project, it's always best for you to make a test shirt ahead of time.
