Miss Sophie Top

It’s been quite a while since I’ve released a pattern…..almost a year!  Some of you know and some of you may not know that my daughter, Kate, was diagnosed with breast cancer last October and I’m pleased to say that she is doing really well and on her way to recovery.  So, I’m back to creating patterns and just in time for the warmer months coming up in Australia.

The Miss Sophie Top is a beautiful, floaty top that is so easy to sew and to wear, it will be an essential piece in your wardrobe.  

Garment Features:

  • a cool split sleeve ending in gathers and cuff
  • also, you can have no split sleeve with gathers and cuff
  • or no gathers and cuff at all
  • a scoop bound neckline with a front keyhole feature
  • made from woven fabrics eg. rayon, chiffon, soft cotton voile, broderie anglaise, silk, silk satin
  • includes sizes 6-26AU/2-22US

Below, you’ll find a measurement chart and fabric meterage.

Here are my lovely and very talented testers who have bought the Miss Sophie to life.  Thank you so much for all your help.

 

HAPPY SEWING!

Fabric Requirements:

Before you sew your dress it is wise to get some cheap fabric and make a Toile (pronounced Twarl – a sample or mockup) of the dress first.  Get the fit right and you won’t waste your good fabric.  You can use a cheap Calico or cheap Cotton.

MISS RUBY TUESDAY – Add On

This has been a long time in the making and I’m so proud of the new styles created to add to the already popular, Miss Ruby Tuesday Pattern.

You are going to love it!!!  If you love the Miss Ruby Tuesday, (known as MRT to the diehards), you are going to love all the additions created to go with it.

All going well, the pattern will be released on Wednesday, 15th March at 6pm Qld Australia time (AEST).  Of course there will be a discount but only if you are in my pattern group on facebook……1PL-Sewing and Pattern Group.  That’s where you’ll find the code on Wednesday.

Here’s What To Expect

As there were so many styles and still more in the pipeline, I had to separate them into two bundles – a SKIRT BUNDLE and a BODICE BUNDLE.  That way if you only want SKIRTS you can buy that and vice versa.  If you want both you can buy the bundle at a special price AND if you want all three – original MRT, Skirt and Bodice – there is a bundle for that too.

Bodice Bundle

The Bodice Bundle features:

  • Style A – Cross Over
  • Style B – Cross Over with Side Tucks
  • Style C – With Waistband and Optional Ties
  • Style C – Cross Over with Waistband and Optional Ties
  • Style D – Cross Over with Waist Tucks

Skirt Bundle

The Skirt Bundle features:

  • Style A – Straight Skirt
  • Style A – Straight Skirt with Drape Overlay (this goes great with Style D bodice.
  • Style B – A-Line Skirt – Short and Maxi Length
  • Style C – Hi-Lo Skirt – Peplum and Short Length
  • Style D – Pleated Skirt

 

Fabric Meterage

It’s important to note that this is just an Add-On pattern and you’ll need to use the original MRT pattern for certain pattern pieces.  This is especially important for the Bodice Bundle.

So, the meterages are just for the Style itself.  You’ll need to see which style of Bodice or Skirt you want in the Layout section and see if you can fit the bodice pieces in there.  Otherwise, just add the two style meterages  together to get the amount you need to buy for that style.
