Arenal Top Itch to Stitch Sewing Pattern
Arenal Top Itch to Stitch sewing pattern.
Is it possible to have comfort and style at the same time? With the Arenal Top, the answer is a resounding yes! Featuring a curved V neck and front yoke, the Arenal Top is a knit top fitted on the shoulders and arms with two bodices and hem options. You can venture into the swing bodice with a subtle handkerchief hem, or stay with the fitted bodice and the regular hem. Better yet, why not make one of each? The Arenal Top also comes in long and 3/4-length sleeves!
Recommended fabrics
Primary Fabric Use light to medium-weight knit fabric with at least 100% horizontal stretch and 30% vertical stretch. Jersey, viscose knit and stretch velvet with some drape and recovery are good choices. If using a fabric with more or less stretch, you may need to choose a smaller or larger size respectively. If using an extremely drapey knit, such as rayon or bamboo knit, you may need to go down a size and possibly stabilize the neckline with knit fusible interfacing. Avoid very structured knits. Do not use woven fabric.
Contrast Fabric Use light to medium-weight knit fabric with similar stretch as the primary fabric. Alternatively, you may also use the
Primary Fabric as contrast.
Sizing
- Includes sizes 00 to 20
Make sure to check the size chart in the image gallery before choosing your size. Every pattern brand uses slightly different measurements, so it’s always worth double-checking to ensure you select the correct size for the best possible fit.
Available Formats
Delivered Paper Pattern
If you opt for the printed paper pattern we'll print it on our in-house large format A0 printer and post it to your address.
Please note that we don't print the instructions. These will be emailed to you as a PDF, along with the digital pattern files in all sizes, when we dispatch your paper pattern.
Occasionally some large pattern pieces may be split across two A0 sheets and will need to be joined together.
PDF Digital Download
If you choose the PDF digital download option, a link to download your pattern files will be included in your order confirmation email. We recommend creating an account before placing your order so you can easily access your files again by logging in at any time. The following files are included to print at home:
- PDF for A4/Letter printout. The full pattern spans 18 pages (sizes 00–20), though you'll only need to print the pieces for your size, so the final page count may be less.
- PDF for A0/US printout. The full pattern spans 1 pages (sizes 00–20), though you'll only need to print the pieces for your size, so the final page count may be less.
