Hem your overlay.
Lay your overlay over the underlay, matching the necklines and shoulders. If you used a slice method for your nursing opening, each side will line up with the overlay, but they don't overlap. Pin as much as you need to keep the two layers together.
If you used the scooped armhole method for your underlay, your armscyes are only connected part-way down. Be extra careful lining up your sideseams to compensate for the single layer at the lower armscye.
Now baste your layers together. Now you can assemble your shirt according to the pattern instructions, ignoring the fact that your front is made of two pieces instead of one. If you want to use the button at the sideseam, pin the overlay sideseam towards the middle of the shirt and out of the way when you put your front and back together. Then attach the button after the shirt is complete.
That's all there is to creating a crop front nursing shirt. If you're confused about a step, or I've left something important out, please contact me at tomorrowperson at gmail dot com.
