A sewing pattern for one of my favourite designs, the simple yet versatile Box Top!
I chose this design to release as a sewing pattern for the way this garment suits all ages, and all shapes and sizes.
Easily modified to lengthen or shorten, or hack the basic pattern to create a smock top or dress.
Full instructions on how to personalise these options are included in the pattern.
You decide where the waist is created, and how long you'd like the gathered skirt for a dress or smock top.
A generously sized top that drapes beautifully on the body, with a cap sleeve, a crew neckline, and a narrow hem.
