Skill Level: Suitable for beginners and early makers.

Construction techniques: Simple stretch stitch seams and a small amount of topstitching

Sizing: UK Sizes 4 - 28 (with PDF Layers)

This pattern is a fitted jersey piece and it should feel like a second skin. The neck line is high and wide (giving it its ‘boatneck’ name) and the rest of the garment is fitted, from the shoulders to the sleeves and body. The sleeves are slightly cropped to sit above the wrist and the body length sits just on the hips.

See photos for sizing guide and finished garment measurements. 

Suitable Fabrics: The Boatneck Top is a fitted jersey pattern which means it needs to be paired with a stretchy fabric. You can use a jersey with an elastane blend or a fabric knitted with plenty of stretch. For a wearable wardrobe basic we recommend using a lovely lightweight jersey in a fibre of your choice.

Fabric Requirements: Modern Sewing Co.'s lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
