PATTERN AND INSTRUCTIONS: The Picnic Top (Patreon)

Update 8/1: Please note that for the front waist dart on A-C cups only, you will need to use a 1/4" seam allowance. D-H cups will use a 5/8" seam allowance as shown in the video. The instruction file will be updated ASAP! 

Update 8/3: The instructions file has been updated to reflect the change above! No other changes were made. 

Here's a brand new stand-alone pattern for you! Meet the Picnic Top, a 1940s-inspired blouse to pair with skirts and shorts. This button-front top can be made in two lengths: waist or cropped. It’s fully lined and has the cutest puff sleeves. Perfect for summer backyard picnics! It's also a fun and fairly quick sew, coming together much faster than you would expect. Our A-H cup sizes will help you get the perfect fit! 

Download the instructions and pattern files at the bottom of this post  (note the separate files for A0 and tiled home printing; see the instructions file for more information) and make sure to watch the video tutorial in my separate post!
