The next pattern re-launch from our back catalog is the Piper Top! The Piper Top is a modern funnel neck knit top, inspired by tops of the 1960’s. As easy to sew and wear as a t-shirt, but slightly elevated in style, the Piper Top has a funnel neck that you can choose to wear folded or raised as a high turtleneck, set-in sleeves, and an hourglass shape meant to follow but not cling to the curves of the body. There are two sleeve lengths: a short sleeve that hits halfway between the shoulder & elbow, and a 3/4-length sleeve that lands above the wrist. SHOP THE PIPER TOP Just like the Vard ..read more

How to Sew a Shelf Bra in the Dune Tank

One of the many alterations people requested was to see how to add a shelf bra into the Dune Tank. Luckily it is a VERY easy addition! I was asked multiple times why I didn’t just include it in the pattern, and the reason is because not everyone wants that in their tank, and also because it’s so easy to just add for yourself after the fact. It literally doesn’t require any new pattern pieces! The tutorial is in the video so give it a watch and let me know if you have any questions!
