Foreword:
When it comes to patterns for me, I always choose something super comfy. I work from home and don’t really need that many clothes. I mostly wear jeans and a pretty top. I love peasant tops because of the elastic in the neckline and the loose fit around the chest and stomach area. That’s why I chose the Devon, a peasant top and dress pattern.
What the pattern contains:
- Printable pattern pieces for the bodice, sleeves and front placket.
- Tutorial with detailed illustrations
- Fabric requirement chart
- Option for ruffles, pom pom trim, different necklines such as a working drawstring, elasticized mock drawstring
- Sleeve options for bell or basic, short, 3/4 and long sleeves
What I did differently:
Just because I didn’t have enough woven cotton fabric on hand that I liked for myself, I used knit fabric which I bought from Girl Charlee (their quality and price is right on target!). The outcome is one comfy top! I also did not add the front placket for the slit. I added elastic to the neckline without an opening or mock drawstring. The chevron fabric I chose didn’t need the extra touch of drawstring. Then I added elastic to the wrists and bottom hem. I did this because the knit fabric is a really slinky material that just looked better with the elastic in it. The top fits amazingly!
What I liked about the pattern:
- I liked the options for a top or dress length, the different sleeve lengths and of course the neckline options.
- The tutorial was very detailed and left no questions open.
Conclusion:
I have truly found a new favorite peasant top pattern which I’ll be making over and over again! I’m also thinking to try a dress very soon!
