DIY – Cowl Neck Top Sewing Tutorial with Contrasting Sleeves
Today, I’m ready to try something new and I’m very excited about it. Today we will be sewing a cowl neck top. A cowl necked shirt has a draped neckline that hangs gracefully either in the front, back, or both. I’m excited about it because making the pattern will be a whole new challenge. I can’t wait to see how a three-dimensional feature, like a hanging draped neckline, plays out on a two-dimensional pattern.
So, onward we go!

Third time’s a charm, right?
This is my third and final 60s inspired boat neckline dress… At least for this year. But do you know how it is when one project inspires another which inspires another? That was this, and I am very happy to have seen them through. I promise you, 2019 will bring something fresh! And I already have some ideas, but until then, enjoy this Christmas present to myself and read along for my Mod Plaid Dress tutorial. 🙂
