The Cara Top is a simple blouse that's flexible enough to wear in a wafty muslin at the beach or in a smarter silk as part of a wedding two-piece. It comes with 2 length options, shorter to sit right on the hip or a little longer to hit the top of the thigh.
It is a simple piece to make which means it’s a great project for beginners, however this doesn’t mean we cut corners on the construction quality. You’ll be using french seam construction and you’ll have the option of a double fold hem or a flat binding to finish the hem and armholes.
The modern sewing company comes from the creative mind of Hetty, a lovely woman with a great acknoeledge of fashion and garment's contrucion. In her patterns she expresses all her love for well made clothes, simple and wearable yet stylish and sleek.
