I love this top! 💓 It's more than just a basic tee, but it's just as comfortable as one!
This is CKC Hollis! This pattern makes such a cute top to pair with jeans or leggings, and is a surprisingly easy sew! You have a few options for sewing this pattern!
The Sleeves:
This pattern comes with different sleeve lengths to make the perfect top for any time of year. The sleeves are finished with a simple cuff, for a very easy finish! I love not having to measure and pin a hem! 😉 I made both of my tops with long sleeves, because it's so cold right now! I wanted a couple of tops to keep me warm!
The Crossover Band:
There are two options for the bottom crossover on this pattern. For each of my two shirts, I used the curved hem band. You can optionally use a solid (straight/ non-curved) band. Both of them look beautiful - I feel like the straight band might be slightly more beginner-friendly, however.
The Lengths:
Shannon has the pattern pieces marked for different lengths already. You can choose to cut at petite line, regular line, or tall line. She has a hem band marked for each length so that it'll fit perfectly. I used the regular cut line, because I am 5'5" tall, and it is the perfect length for me.
The Fit:
This top has more of a comfortable, relaxed fit. I really love it! The length of the top hits me long enough that I could comfortably wear it with leggings, which I love - More options!

Fabric:
This pattern is drafted for knit fabrics. I used double brushed poly for both of mine! I love DBP because there are so many prints available and it's so warm this time of year! 💓
