I decided to make a top using this pattern, with the intention of making a dress using it in the future. I had some fabric from an old dress I made years ago but never wore, and was able to arrange the pattern pieces to successfully cut this out. The instructions were very easy to follow. I discovered I was not totally happy with the neckline so I put together a double 'facing' to adjust this - which will help me make the adjustment on the dress when I get around to making it (probably next year now as the weather is getting colder). I have had compliments when wearing it.
I made a wearable muslin from shot cotton and linen scraps. The only modifications I made was to double the width of the arm band so I can fold it up like cuff. And I added 5 inches to the length. It turned out great.
I’d like to try another one in a fabric with more drape.
Fun, great little top! I’ve made two now and plan to make more- it comes together quickly and the result is so cute! Thank you for the fabric (the top I’m wearing) and the pattern.
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!!
