The Fearne box top is the ultimate pick ‘n’ mix sewing pattern! Not only do you pick your neckline style, sleeve style, hem length and hem style, you can choose woven or knit fabric too. Go wild and mix a woven bodice and sleeve with a knitted cuff and waistband! There are so many variations and combinations. This size-inclusive sewing pattern has been designed with ultimate comfort in mind.
The tie front version offers privacy with the front neckline and is great for a beginner. The button front version and binding sleeve hem are great next steps towards tricker sewing techniques for a confident beginner. Sewing this pattern using knit fabric is a great entry into sewing with knits, without worrying too much about the fit as it’s loose fitting.
Sew all the different variations using the cleverly created 'order of sewing' flowchart and you can't go wrong!
Make in a lightweight cotton lawn fabric for a classic summer look, try a medium weight jersey fabric for a wintery cardigan or go all out and make in a soft drapey velvet for that jeans and a nice top look! It is the perfect all-year-round, transitional sewing pattern that will see you through all seasons.
