Ruffles are a great way to add a feminine detail to a garment and here, this top combines a classic line with a dainty trim. Amanda Walker’s pattern allows you to practise sewing darts and concealed zips as you construct a charming spring staple. This version is sewn from cotton, but the design would also work in chiffon if you leave out the facing and bind the neck and armholes instead.
1 Download and print the pattern at sewmag.co.uk/templates. Cut out all the pieces according to the cutting guide, then transfer any markings. Stitch bust darts into the front as indicated, sewing from the edge to the points, then press them towards the armholes. Neaten the front, back and centre-back seam edges using an overlock or zig zag stitch. Match the shoulders on the front and back, right sides together, pin, then sew.
2 Iron interfacing onto the front and back facing pieces, then neaten at the bases. Match the front and back at the shoulder seams, pin right sides together, then stitch. Lay the top out flat with the facing on top, right sides together. Pin, then sew at the neckline. Clip the curved seams, then press it down and understitch.
