Description

The Square Neck Top is a comfortable, loose-fitting top featuring dolman sleeves and a distinctive square neckline. This top has a slightly cropped design, making it perfect for those new to sewing. This sewing pattern includes all the necessary pieces to create the top using either knit or woven fabric, offering versatility in your fabric choices!

Recommended Fabric

KNIT VERSION: To craft the perfect knitted Square Neck Top, opt for fabrics boasting at least a 20% 4-way stretch. Ideal choices include cotton jersey, rib knits, and lightweight French terry. Generally, it’s worth noting that sturdier knits are easier to handle, while thinner, drapier knits may present a bit more of a sewing challenge.

WOVEN VERSION: The woven Square Neck Top shines when made from materials like linen, cotton, viscose, and silk. Your fabric choice will significantly impact the final look of your top. If you go for a drapey fabric such as viscose or silk, your top will have a more blouse-like appearance. In contrast, opting for something like linen will give it a more structured, chic vibe.

Notions

• Matching thread

• 1/2 yd (0.5m) of lightweight fusible interfacing (if making the knit version, use knit fusible interfacing)

• Stretch or ballpoint needle (if making the knit version)
