Customer Reviews
I have really enjoyed making and wearing this top. It is the first time I have used this pattern company and I am very impressed. The instructions are very clear well illustrated and easy to follow. My measurements put me in a size 10. I made a toile and found that the back neckline gapped, I adjusted the pattern made another toile and it was perfect. The fabric I used for my top is a lightweight wool with a lot of stretch and I couldn’t be more pleased with it the fit is great. I have made three altogether now as it was so successful. I had left over fabric with each top so made ‘cowl necks’ to match,it makes my top more versatile giving me two looks. I would recommend this top quick and easy to make. Thanks Hetty.
This is another super pattern from Hetty. It is no ordinary tee shirt! The neckline is lovely and the construction is very clever. Great instructions. I did find that it came up a bit small (the first size I made - my usual size for MSC - was a bit tighter than skin tight). I do prefer slightly longer arms so I've adjusted my pattern. I've made 3 now and have more planned. It really is worth getting this pattern for the neckline alone! Thank you so much Hetty.
I like this pattern a lot. It was easy in the main albeit I struggled a little to understand the instructions for the neck facing. It is that feature that makes it different to just a standard boat neck T-shirt. I’ve written notes for the next one!
