dis·taff – noun 1) a stick or spindle onto which wool or flax is wound for spinning. 2) of or concerning women.
I just finished sewing a classic Breton top in striped cotton jersey.
Not a bad job, if I do say so myself. The pattern is from “Simply Sewing” magazine’s July 2016 issue, #17. The pattern came from the Great British Sewing Bee book.
The drop shoulders are an essential part of the look, but I needed to re- draft them a tad to keep them from cutting across the thickest part of my dinner-lady arms. I think it came out ok but I might play with it a bit more if I make another.

I love how the stripes change direction in the sleeves, nice choice of fabric!

This is the Sew Over It Molly Top/Dress – I just sewed up a dress variation using the same free download. Love the colours of the stripes.

Love this, I’ve made 3 I think – Molly tops as someone mentioned. I bet if you just stitched using the tiniest of seam allowance you could get away with not redrafting the pattern.
