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.

I love that kind of top - simple to make & wear, but with a little extra.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteA very nice neckline detail. You have to make one for yourself.
ReplyDeleteA good basic top and the neckline detail sounds so easy to do!
ReplyDeleteSuch a simple design detail, yet very effective. Your top looks stylish and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteSimple, but very effective. A really nice dress.
