SKILL LEVEL
Complete Beginner
This is a super simple make, perfect for beginners who want to dabble in making cute tops or, if you're anything like me, a confident dressmaker looking for an on-trend speedy make (or ten!).
Once you've worked out your measurements, you'll be able to sew one up in just a few hours.
FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS
The Rissy Tie Top works beautifully in lightweight to medium-weight woven fabrics.
Recommended fabrics include:
• Cotton lawn
• Cotton poplin
• Linen
• Seersucker
• Lightweight denim
• Viscose blends
• Double gauze
For best results, avoid fabrics that are overly heavy or bulky, as the design relies on gathering and soft shaping throughout the garment.
If you're experimenting with a new fabric type, I recommend sewing a toile first to test the fit and drape.
YOU'LL NEED
• 1.5–2m of fabric (based on a fabric width of approximately 145cm)
• Matching thread
• Fabric scissors
• Measuring tape
• Loop turner
• Sewing pins
VIDEO TUTORIAL INCLUDED
Every stage of the project is supported by a full video sew-along, allowing you to follow the process at your own pace.
The tutorial is hosted online for easy access and is linked directly throughout the instruction booklet so you can jump to the relevant section whenever you need it.
You'll receive lifetime access, including any future updates to the pattern.
