Simple crop top
0.00 €
EU 32 - EU 46

Simple and comfortable crop top. A good beginner's project. Must be sewn from stretchy fabric.

Descripcion

Especially in summer, a simple crop top like this is one of my closet basics. Especially in simple colors like white or black, it goes perfectly with any outfit. This time I bought a really wild fabric, but I also have the top twice in white. It is definitely also suitable for beginners. I used my overlock when sewing. This is a machine that cuts and finishes the edge at the same time (i.e. sews it nicely). Even if you don't have an overlock, you can sew the top with an elastic stitch (e.g. the zigzag stitch on your household sewing machine). Have fun with it!

Scope

The download includes a .zip file containing the following files:

  • Pattern in the corresponding size (A4)
  • Layoutplan
  • General information and tips
  • Video tutorial with step-by-step description

Size chart

Before you decide on a size, please check the main measurements. These are your own body measurements, not those of the finished garment.

cm
SIZE CHEST WAIST HIPS
EU 32 76 cm 62 cm 86 cm
EU 34 80 cm 65 cm 90 cm
EU 36 84 cm 68 cm 94 cm
EU 38 88 cm 72 cm 97 cm
EU 40 92 cm 76 cm 100 cm
EU 42 96 cm 80 cm 103 cm
EU 44 100 cm 84 cm 106 cm
EU 46 104 cm 88 cm 109 cm
EU 48 110 cm 94 cm 114 cm
EU 50 116 cm 101 cm 119 cm
EU 52 122 cm 107 cm 124 cm

Materials

You need a certain amount of basic equipment for all sewing projects. This usually consists of

  • Sewing machine
  • Yarn in the matching color
  • Fabric scissors
  • Thread scissors
  • Tailor's chalk
  • Printer to print out the pattern, ruler to check the measurements and a pair of scissors.

You also need the following materials specifically for this project:

cm
MATERIAL Fabric width EU 32 EU 34 EU 36 EU 38 EU 40 EU 42 EU 44 EU 46
Outer fabric
85 cm 100 cm 100 cm 100 cm 100 cm 100 cm 100 cm 100 cm 100 cm

Fabric choice

In general, you are quite free in the choice of fabric. That's the beauty of sewing your own garment. But since fabrics differ in strength, elasticity, stiffness, and many other properties, here are a few fabrics with which the garment works particularly well:

  • Jersey
  • Elastic fabrics (DOGS min. 70%)

Instructions

You can find detailed video instructions on my YouTube channel.

Hey Jennifer, I didn’t have any testers in this size when I created them, and I didn’t want to just “upsize” the measurements but wanted to create high quality patterns that really fit. But I am currently already creating the existing patterns in bigger sizes, for example the midi dress includes sizes until 52. All the best and soon, I hope I can also publish them for the the Croptop. Julia

I love you're patterns but why don't you have bigger sizes then size 46 for the free patterns.... I'm going to try size 46 but will give it away.... I'm sorry I can't wear it because i love the tie front blouse!!

Hey RC, i think i would go with size 36 and use a material with a bigger stretch part. All the best and happy sewing :) Julia

Hi, Brigitte! Love all the way from the Yucatán! I've yet to sew with knits, this will be my first time. Question for you: My bust size is an exact 86cm and my waist is 77cm. Which of your Pattern sizes would you recommend? I fear that if I make it in EU 38 (88cm / 72cm), the arm holes will be too big and there will be a huge gap between my body and armpit of the garment. What would you do / suggest?

Hallo Brigitte, das tut mir leid zu hören, dass das bei dir nicht geklappt hat. Der Schnitt ist für elastischen Stoff ausgelegt, d.h das Schnittmuster ist z.B an der Taille ein wenig kleiner/enger als die Taille an sich, da der Stoff sich dehnen soll. Ansonsten ist noch wichtig, beim Drucken 100% einzustellen und mit dem unten beim Schnitt die Zentimeterskala zu überprüfen. Das steht auch alles nochmal genau in der Anleitung. Ganz liebe Grüße und viel Erfolg weiterhin! LG Julia

Hallo, Vielleicht hab ich was falsch gemacht, aber das Schnittmuster war 28 cm zu klein. Ich habe EU42 ausgedruckt und die Schnitte waren jeweils 7 cm zu klein. Schade. Ich weiß nicht, wie man einen Schnitt vergrößert Gruß Brigitte

Hallo Andi, danke dir für das Feedback! :) Meinst du das Schließen der Wendeöffnung? Man kann den Saum auch anstatt mit der Hand einfach mit der Maschine absteppen. Dann sieht man die Naht zwar ein wenig, aber ich hab auch ein Top mit der Option und es gefällt mir auch sehr gut. Eine andere Option ist noch, die werde ich in einem Zukünftigen Video zeigen, dass man eine Wendeöffnung an der Seitennaht lässt. Dann kann man den Saum unten komplett schließen und die Seitennaht im Nachhinein einfach mit der Maschine von rechts zusammennähen, dort (innen) fällt es noch weniger auf. LG Julia
