Pattern Description:
A sleeveless bias cut top with cowl neck, asymmetric drape and a drawstring in the side seam.
This is the first pattern I've tested for Lena Merrin of The Sewing Space.. Pattern Sizing:
6 - 18. I made the 12. Here's the full write up. Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes it did. Here's the line drawing. Was the order of construction easy to follow?
It was easy to follow the construction notes. They are a guide and more detailed sewing instructions and images are available if needed.
Fabric Used:
I've used 2 poly knits, a poly georgette and a cotton knit for this top.
The georgette is a woven and so I found the top was more fitted. I used a woven because the top is cut on the bias. It still works. Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes and I have made this up a few times not.
I wish Lena Merrin all the best with this new downloadable pattern. I've really enjoyed participating as a pattern tester for her.
