Note: These measurements are for a crop length, which can be worn with high waisted pants and skirts. I have a long torso, so depending on your body length, you may need to shorten the top slightly. It is better to cut it longer, iron + pin hem in place and try it on with some pants. If it is too long, just cut the necessary length off the hem before sewing it down. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Melissa wrote some comments on my blog entry A Problem with Cap Sleeves: I was really excited when I found your blog on the children's sleeve draft from Armstrong's book. I have been working on a project for weeks now and I'm having a lot of trouble with the sleeve. Starting with the Basic Sleeve Draft, I found there was too much ease and took 2cm off the bicep measurement when I read that you take the ease out. I responded: One thing that is probably causing you trouble is the placement of your notches.

These are my go-to self-drafted pants, and my very favorite pattern to hack, the Lou Box Top from Sew DIY. The pants are my standard wide leg pants pattern that I drafted a few years ago. I am so heavily invested in this style (current count - 6), can we all please agree that they will never go out of style?!

I saw a top similar to this one somewhere on the internet, and I've had it tucked into a dusty little corner of my brain ever since. The fabric is a yarn dyed cotton linen stripe from Fabric.com*.

However this means that you need to do a couple of different things when you cut out the pattern. I’ve sewn for 2 decades and have never come across a designed like this = so even if you’re a seasoned sewist you need to pay attention. Each pattern piece is actually 2 pattern pieces – you will cut down the pieces to make it the next pattern piece ( for example you will cut out the exterior of the hood, cut down the pattern piece and then cut the interior). Cape section: Cut the pattern to the length you want (there are two – I’m 5’4″ and the shorter length was good for me). Cut 1 of the back piece – place the pattern piece with the BLUE line on the fold. Now Cut the pattern piece to become the front piece. DIY: Wipeable Drafting Board.
