Cut a strip of fabric on the bias (diagonally) about 3-4cm wide.
Fold it over widthways. and match the edges up with the right side of the neck edge.
Over lock edges together - taking no fabric off (no seam allowance apart from the stitching)
Stretch the binding slightly to give the sewing some stretch when it's a garment.
This is what it should look like.
Fold the overlocking away from the binding and top stitch (while slightly stretching the fabric) or coverstitch.
One finished envelope top.
