New Look 6009 - Simply Navy.

I sewed this pattern for my mother's birthday a couple of years ago I think and loved the  neckline  and the casual relaxed fit so  I have wanted to make one for me as well. The pattern is very easy . The front is sewn from two  pieces and a gap left  near at the top. A narrow loop is then wrapped around the gap and the top of the neckline creating a gathered bow appearance. So simple! The pattern is designed for wovens but I used a navy bamboo knit remnant from Clegs and eliminated the back button/loop closure. I was able to easily put this on without the back opening. I will definitely sew this pattern again but for now I better return it to its rightful owner since it has been a couple of years since I ahem borrowed it.

  1. I love that kind of top - simple to make & wear, but with a little extra.

  2. I agree with Beverly - this top is very smart, I think because it is a knit and drapes nicely. New Look does seem to produce smart little garments that are simple to sew.

  3. A very nice neckline detail. You have to make one for yourself.
