Tessuti - Our Fave Top

I know I am supposed to be sewing for the Mini Wardrobe Contest, but got momentarily distracted to sew another top.  The Tessuti - Our Fave Top - a free download.

This top is not my usual style.  I usually favour more fitted clothing but I keep seeing this top about and decided it was time to try something different.


This is a simple top to make - two pieces - sew seams, hem all openings.   The part that takes the longest is taping all the A4 sheets of paper together. 

... and the biggest surprise is I really like it.  It is a great piece to showcase a bold necklace.


It also is so comfy and easy to wear...


And, yes Sharon, it is wide at the hemline...


Ciao!  Hopefully I can start showing my mini wardrobe pieces soon....

  3. Sue, you already know I think it's fabulous, but I do have a question. How did you finish the neckline? Is it a binding or a band?

    1. Super simple turn over and sew with a double needle. I used Steam a seam lite to hold it in place. Not flash but does the job.

    2. Thanks, Sue. I might have to give my neckline finish some thought as we both know I'm all about flash! LOL. Sounds good. I don't have any Steam a Seam Lite. Where do you get yours? I have some other stuff, Vlieosofix I think. I wonder if that would be close enough or if it would be too heavy? I can see a little experiment in my future.

  7. This is not at all my normal style, but you've convinced me to download the pattern! This is a great look, very modern and casual chic.
