Declic blouse

Wonderful pattern. I sew primarily with knits and looked for a well constructed pattern to help me transition back to sewing with woven fabric. This was the perfect pattern to work with.

Declic

Wow. Loved the shape of this but it certainly doesn’t like my shape. I’m only 150cm tall and the armholes were open to my waist. And the v neck was too low. I have set this aside until I have the mental energy to do the alterations necessary.

Favourite summer top pattern

Without a doubt, the best summer top pattern that I own! Such a quick and easy make with no adjustments needed. I particularly love the pleating detail at the shoulders. I made one in cotton lawn and another in viscose.. Have many more of these lovely tops planned for the future.

Lovely blouse

Really lovely blouse to sew, I have made one and want to make more. The sizing is very generous so will make the size smaller next time. Highly recommend this pattern X

Well-constructed pattern with interesting detail

The most interesting free pattern I’ve seen. I really like the shoulder pleat detail. Most tops are too short on me, but this one was fine without adjustments. Mostly easy to follow instructions , the video QR codes are a nice touch. I didn’t quite understand the instruction about blending the armhole hem into the side seam - a video for that step would have been nice. I made it in a cotton lawn, I think next time I will try something with more drape. As an introduction to Atelier Scammit’s patterns, it has definitely made me want to explore the rest of the collection.

Trevlig blus

Den blev fin, men hade säkert blivit ännu bättre med ett mjukare tyg med mer fall.
Tack!
