This is another pattern that I had bought a while back and forgot about. It’s a pattern for a knit peplum top that is really flattering. I think that because the pattern is sized for knit fabrics, the peplum is incorporated into the top (it’s not a separate piece).
What makes this flattering are the princess seams. They always seem to give patterns a better fit, at least for me.
This pattern also has godets that can be added to the front and back. Although I was intending to make View C, I actually forgot to add the godets in the back. So the front has them while the back does not. I prefer the look without the extra added fabric, so next time, I will use View A which is without them.
As for the material used, I used some cotton knit interlock that I bought at JoAnn’s. It was actually in the remnants section and there were two pieces. I mention this because this is a good tip: check the remnants area of the fabric store and see if you can find more than one piece of the same fabric. That may give you enough for a top!
Best of all, this is super-simple to put together. I love a pattern that can give you a great look and is easy to make! Basically, this is a classic style made with knit fabric. If you’ve checked out my sewing list on the tab above, you know that I’m interested in sewing some classic styles this season, and this definitely fits the bill.
