Such a great pattern! Extremely flattering. If you don’t know how to french seam, you will be an expert after making a few Olivias (as one is just not enough..) .

This pattern was delightfully fast and easy, and the finished seams make it look so professional. With the various sleeve options, this pattern will be great year round for a super comfortable, classic look.

I am a moderate beginner – have sewn a few things for my kids and several pillowcases. This came together really easily. I did take about 10.5″ off the elastic at the neck, because I wanted to close the neckline in a little more. This caused the shirt to cinch up a little – so it was a little shorter than I would have originally liked. But this was a great learning experience and with a few tweaks I can get this pattern to be perfect.

Nice lose flowy top with which you can be creative! A quick easy sew 🙂
Kyra Delaney –
I love this pattern so much! It’s perfect to use the adorable quilting cotton you buy and don’t know what to do with. It’s also so comfy when making in a knit too. It’s a simple sew that walks you through French seams if you haven’t encountered them before along with adding elastic making the fit so much easier.
