Here is the newest pattern from Itch to Stitch Designs - the Carey Top. I think this is one of my favourite things I have sewn for myself! It is a lovely simple design, but with great details that make it stand out from the crowd!
The Carey top has elbow-length drawstring-gathered dolman sleeves, for which you could use a contrasting fabric for the shoulder panels to add an extra detail - a couple of the testers used lace which looked amazing and really added a 'dressy' feel to the top!
You can make your drawstrings out of matching fabric (pattern and instructions are all included), or you could just use purchased cord.
There are lengthen/shorten lines and instructions included so you can customise for your height, or it could even be lengthened to tunic or dress length.
I like to wear my top with a belt, as it suits my shape best that way, but I have also worn it for work with a high-waisted skirt, which gives it another style!
The instructions are really detailed with great images - this pattern is aimed at more confident beginners - and it is a quick one to sew up!
I love the flowy style of this top - I made mine in chiffon, but you could use any sort of silky fabric with good drape - and you could even use knit!
The pattern comes in a good range of sizes - from 00 – 20, but don't worry about all the printer ink that would use up - you can select only the sizes you need with the layers feature!
The pattern is 20% off now (for the first month - no code needed), and there is also an additional 15% off for the first week if any two or more patterns are purchased together - the code for this is posted in the Itch to Stitch Designs group.
