    A quick and easy sew for a cute summer top! Single, double or no flounce option and straps or no straps, the choice is yours. Can be sewn in either knit or woven. The flounce is neatly edged with bias binding with clear step by step guide to help you master this technique.

  2. Donna Jones –

    This is such a satisfying make! Its reletively simple, the bias binding being the trickiest part and that gets done and out the way right at the beginning. The end result is a simple but classy looking top for the great British summertime garden sunbathing

  3. Bunford Orsi –

    Love this top! If you love ruffles like I do, you must make one for you for this summer!

  4. Tomorrow Papaleo –

    Such a quick and simple sew for a beautiful fun garment! Love it!

  5. Stephanie Carnovale –

    Summer is sorted with this top!!!!
    It’s a super quick sew and uses barely any fabric. Need to make 1 in every colour!!!

  6. Erica Nemnich –

    Love this as a swim top, super cute and fun

  7. Sharon Courtney –

    Super quick sew for a cute beach-ready top! Made from woven or knit. Easy to follow pattern.

  8. Donna Lowe –

    This top is absolutely beautiful and very versatile. I can picture it for many occasions, from lingerie to swimwear.

  9. Donna Lowe –

    This is the perfect top for hot days. It can be paired with so much things for different looks.

  10. Diane Cullum –

  12. Debbie Groves –

  13. Maja Rus –

    Quick and simple sew, gorgeous result <3

  14. Luana Furlanetto –

    I love that this pattern can be used for both knit an woven fabrics! It’s very easy and quick to sew…with a wow effect!
    I made mine with cotton jersey.

  15. Dési Rée –

    Top pattern for summer. Can even be sewn as a swim top

  16. Jasmine Chandler –

    Once it was created it is such a super cute top with limited fuss. I would recommend giving a guide for the amount of elastic for the top and bottom.

  17. Alexandria Phillip –

    Love this top! It was super quick and easy even with the flounce! I can’t wait to mix up the fabric options for different looks. And the absolute best part? Its for knits and woven! Definitely a great addition to your summer wardrobe.

  18. Salomé Goncalves –

    Very easy pattern to follow, and it can be quite quick to sew. I chose the double flounce, so had to spend some time on the binding, but the end result was great! If you like a vintage vibe, pair it with the vintage shorts (like I did :D). I’m just waiting for the summer to arrive in the north of Germany so I can wear my lovely me-made set outside!

  19. Kelly Tuttle –

    Beautiful, fun, fluttery too. I love the flounce! I have been wearing mine like crazy, it’s perfect for the summer heat.

  20. Angel Pooley –

    Loved this make, it’s was so quick and easy and so stylish! Will defo make another!

  21. Peggy Pazera Cooke –

    Super sweet, super simple top for those hot summer months! The flounce adds an extra bit of fun.

  22. Janet Cox –

    A quick and relatively easy sew. Only the bias binding took a long time! Without doing the FBA, a woven fabric is a bit tight for a slightly larger bust, but I think it would be fine for a knit.

  23. Angel Pooley –

    Super quick and easy make, if chosen to make without the ruffle it’s only 2 bits of fabric! And I loveeee mine!

  24. Krystyna Czerwiec –

    Very easy to sew and perfect for hot summer.

  25. Beth Byrge –

    Love this in a swim knit!
