Today, you will see 2 tops and 1 dress hack made with the NEW Seychelles top pattern from Itch to Stitch. I used 3 different woven fabrics to show you how different a style can look with different fabric choices.

I am sharing how to sew the two types of sleeves that are an option. The long sleeves have a slightly gathered sleeve cap and are gathered into a delicate narrow cuff with a slit and a single button loop. The short sleeves have two inverted pleats. Both are super pretty and you can see how to sew them here!

The Seychelles top from Itch to Stitch (Sizes 00-40 US & A-DD cups) is 20% OFF through the 29th of March. This is my affiliate link: https://itch-to-stitch.com/product/se...

DISCLAIMER: I had access to the pattern as a tester in exchange for sewing a muslin and providing the designer with feedback on fit and instructions. I don't have a fabric sponsor. I produce sewing content independently from pattern brands and share my unique way of sewing with you, with my own investment of resources. I don’t necessarily follow instructions rigidly. My opinions are honest, especially around fit and sewing techniques.
