I am starting to look toward spring and some cool fashionable ideas. This Sorbetto Top is a simple basic top that can be made in 3 different styles.
This classic top is quick to make, with no closures to sew and a relaxed fit inspired by the easy elegance of the early 60s.

Designed by Colette from Seamwork, the pattern is rated for beginners and comes in Sizes 0 to 26.
The pattern begins with a shell that features a center front box pleat and bust darts for shaping. Bias tape finishes the modest scoop neckline.
Version 2 is a tunic that has a side seam vent and slight high-low hem, which is finished with a facing.
AND, Version 3 offers short set-in sleeves.
To keep this cool and drapy, lightweight to medium weight fabrics such as cotton voile, lawn, silk, rayon challis, or polyester should be used. The neckline and armholes are finished with bias tape. To obtain a better match you may want to make your own. It’s not that hard with a bias tape maker. Amazon sells all sorts HERE
To make the Sorbetto top, you will need the following supplies:
- 1 to 2-1/2″ yards of main fabric depending on size and the version you choose.
