Hello! Wow, has it been ages since I’ve been here. I hope that everyone has been faring well enough these past few years, pandemic and all. The kids are getting older, we’re sort of back to a new schedule, and life is seemingly in a new normal. So.. sewing anyone? Enjoy this tutorial!

Ahh, summer. Expounding upon my last post, the Cowl Neck Top Sewing Tutorial with Contrasting Sleeves, I’ve decided to adjust my cowl neck pattern slightly to make a shirt perfect for summer in the office, or anywhere, really, with this Summery Cowl Neck Top sewing tutorial.

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!
Today we’re going to do another quick refashion project as I’m still on new baby mode. My husband was getting rid of a plaid button down shirt because it had a teeny tiny hole, so I swooped in and claimed it for myself. Today we’re going to do a his to hers shirt refashion project with it. I’ve been wanting to do this type of clothing refashion for a while and this was the perfect opportunity to give it a go. I’ll also patch up that little hole, but I won’t cover it here because I don’t think you need help in that department. 🙂
