Appleby Makes’ Jersey Top

admin February 22, 2018 Pattern Review, Stretch Fabrics, Tips & Tricks, Tutorial 1 Comment

Hi everyone! I’m back with a very straightforward make, the Jersey Top. The pattern comes with two variations – a woven cross-over back blouse (view A), and a raglan jersey top (view B). You can get the pattern here. I went for view B and this is the second time I’ve made this pattern. I’m still getting lots of wear out …

This week's Blogger of the Week is the fabulous Faye Ray Sews, who has already posted up two fabulous makes on the blog since joining the blogger team. Faye currently resides in Port Sunlight Village on the Wirral, and can usually be found in the lab, out on her motorbike or rattling away on her sewing machine!

As Faye explains, "Sewing has taught me that my 5’11” figure isn’t a hindrance, but a fabulous clothes hanger for all of my creations!" She's really made the most of her height with her fabulous Shannon Collection trousers and we love the 60's feel of her two stunning Trudy Dress makes too.

You can find Faye's makes over on the Simple Sew Blog and follow her on Instagram at @Fayeraysews
