GET INSPIRED #SewingCoco
This was a really easy make and was equally easy to alter to fit my straighter body type than the pattern envisioned. I took out the curves over the hip, made it shorter and got rid of the side slits and am very happy with it.
Hi Caroline, thanks so much for your review! It’s great to hear that you used the pattern as a template and made it your own. Hope you whip up many more Coco tops or dresses! :) Happy sewing! Virginija
I haven’t done any dressmaking for 30 years and have completely lost my confidence in my abilities to read a pattern and stitch something
Once cut out, I made the top in a morning, easy to follow directions and I am delighted with it. Even my daughter said oh that looks good!
So must be pretty good, am definitely going to make more
This was the first garment I ever sewed, and couldn't believe how easy it was to sew. I have sewn it over and over again in ponte roma for me and my Mam, with both necklines, as a dress and top. I even altered the pattern to make a velvet ice skating dress out of it. Itis so comfy and flattering to wear.
I made the tunic version with a high collar, in sweat shirt fabric. It was easy to sew and turned out great. I love it, and get lots of compliments.
