Seafarer top review

I am so excited to be a part of the Seafarer Top pattern tour! I really wanted to sew more for myself this summer-you know, breezy light tees to keep cool during the hot summer day….so this pattern is perfect for that need. I sewed up a size medium and it fit perfectly-I love the dolman sleeves-it makes it so loose and comfy, but the band at the hem keeps it fitted. I used this navy striped fabric from Girl Charlee and it’s a great weight, and not see-through like I thought it might be!

ย I eeked out the size medium from one yard of fabric, and the band on the bottom is less wide as a result. (I left off the sleeve band) Which works out because I have the shortest torso in the world. (look me up in the record books ๐Ÿ˜‰ I also shortened the shirt pattern piece by 2″ I think, Abby shows you how to do in the pattern! The instructions were very well written with helpful tips. I’ve already made a color blocked version that I love and can’t wait to show ya…Thanks for the awesome pattern Abby!
