Challenge 11:: Marina top:: intro

This week we are continuing making simple sleeveless tops using the basic block 1 pattern available here.

Marina top

Basic block 1

This one is another relatively simple modifications. We will move the darts into the hem, to get the full A-line design, and reshape the neckline. As for the sleeves... even though the sketch shows a dropped shoulder sleeve, I decided to do a french sleeve. The bow collar does not need any drafting... it is a simple rectangle. We just need to figure out how long/wide it needs to be and how to attach it to the top. That's it.


Next: drafting.
