I was inspired by someone wearing it and had to make one myself. It is easy to put together and a very satisfying make! Love using different colours together!
I've made the two views of the Collage Gather Top and the view A is easy to sew, perfect to make the most of cloth scraps. The view B is a little bit more tricky, but it's beautiful and comfy, so totally worth the effort!!
This is a great beginner friendly pattern and a quick sew. ( My flutter sleeve version took only 4 hours.) The loose fit makes for a very comfortable top to wear on hot summer days. The directions are very clear and well illustrated. I also love how easy it is to alter the sleeves. I made 3 different versions the week i bought the pattern because it was so fun to sew.
Love love love!! Im quite the Matchy Matchy fan girl, their patterns are superb. So beginner friendly, but enjoyable for more seasoned sewers as well. This top goes brilliantly with the archer pants pattern. Tip: keep your fabric fairly light for maximum drape and wafting around appeal! 👏
