Garment Making: Knit Airy Top

PRINTABLE SUPPLY SHEET HERE

Description:  

This is an intermediate level top that you can make on your serger. You can use either woven (non stretch) or knit fabric for this top. I made a top that has been on display in the store using the brushed polyester and it’s very comfortable. That fabric feels so nice on your skin!

The pattern was offered as a We All Sew sew along in the past and the pattern is available free on the Bernina web site: 

Overlocker Projects - Airy Top with Woven or Jersey Fabric - BERNINA

I have the pattern printed and available for tracing. You can either trace your pattern using red dot tracing fabric or tracing paper.

If you would like to print your own copy, there is a link to the download file on the right side of the page. If you’ve never worked with PDF patterns and need assistance, bring your printed pages to class for help in assembling.
