Fun & Fabulous Tops to Sew

It takes a fabulous top to finish off an outfit perfectly - and these smart and fashionable choices are right at the height of fashion. Plus, they're simple to sew, with each project building on the one before, so novices can progressively develop their skills - including seaming, adding darts, setting in sleeves and inserting a neckline collar. Newcomers, or those who feel a little rusty, can begin with the mock-wrap blouse or an easy-to-make pullover tank-top with topstitching. There's a fabulous lightweight poncho and a jacket with contemporary cropped sleeves that can be worn to work, yet transfer stylishly to drinks on a Friday night.
