George+Ginger just hit the 40K members mark and to celebrate it Kristi is giving us this amazing FREE pattern! Not to mention a week-long of giveaways, prizes, and discounts. Woot!
The 40K Sway is a long sleeve top featuring a gorgeous asymmetric neckline.
The pattern has the options of a short or long cuff and faux or functional plackets.
G+G has added another freebie to celebrate our Facebook group hitting 40,000 members! The 40K Sway Top is a unique, asymmetric top with a faux or functional placket swoop neckline. It also includes two different long sleeve cuff options and a flattering, fitted silhouette. The perfect top for fall sewing!
For this first one I chose to make the Functional Placket with the Long Cuff.
I grabbed the fabric at the remnants bin from a new local fabric shop. I’m not sure what the fabric is, but it’s a middleweight poly knit. For the cuffs and band I used CL, also from the same sales bin. Such a great find!
I had a little camera settings mishap and, unfortunately, most of my photos turned out blurry. Especially the ones with the placket open… 🙁
These were the only salvageable ones, but hopefully, it’s enough to illustrate how awesome this top is. 😀
This would be a good top for breast feeding. You can easily decided which side you want your placket to be, depending on personal preferrence.
I love the length of both the top and the sleeves.
I’m 5’10” and have a side waist of 10″ and didn’t add any length to my top, so if you’re shorter or have a short torso and prefer not too long tops, you might want to remove a bit of length from the bodice.
This is size 10 graded to 18.
I’m in love with this top. It’s comfortable and trendy and I can hardly believe that it’s FREE!
This second one I made using a lightweight viscose knit and opted for the Faux Placket and Short Cuffs.
It’s also love!
The asymmetric neckline elevates the look so much, doesn’t it?
It’s just a cool detail that takes it to the next level.
Plus, it looks really cute with a Seether Skirt. What’s not to love?
After sewing all the pattern options I’ve decided that my go-to choices will definitely be Faux Placket and Long Cuffs.
I don’t really need the functional placket and for speed and easiness purposes, the faux one wins. Ha!
And I just love a good long cuff, so that’s a no-brainer. 😉
I know I’ll be wearing these so much in the coming weeks. The slim fit is perfect for fall layering.
Make sure to grab your free copy! And while you’re at it, check out the 40% OFF SITEWIDE SALE!
