Description
This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.
The Tie Up Top is a perfect, flattering and versatile shirt. With all the options you can take it through all seasons from tank to long sleeves. The looser fit means you can grab almost any stretch knit fabric and make it perfect for the season you’re needing… think a lightweight, breathable rayon jersey for a summery tank to a thick, cozy sweater knit for winter time. I adore this top for an athletic look as well. You can tie is looser in front or the crop with long ties has the option to wrap the ties around to the back and make it as fitted as you’d like at the waist. It makes a great layer over a tank, leotard, dress for a different option than an open cardigan in cooler months as well. With the seam down the front you are open to some fun fabric combinations and it makes the construction on the ties simple and easy.
You can pick from a rounded neckline or go with a v neckline. The sleeves have options for days as well. You can go sleeveless with a tank. Pick short, 3/4 or long with a classic sleeve option. Or you can add some flare with a beautiful short flutter sleeve or a dramatic flare long sleeve. This top can not only take you year round, but it can also take you from loungewear, to the gym, out running errands, to a celebration so easily! It’s so versatile and easy to wear. The crop length is a bit longer to meet at your high waisted waistbands and the shirt length will go all the way down to mid booty for lower rise bottoms.
Choose from options: rounded neckline, v neckline, crop length with short ties and long ties, shirt length with short ties, chest pocket option, tank, short sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, long sleeves with cuffs, short flutter sleeves, and long sleeves with flare.
