Description
Pretty much what the title says. Made the pattern myself, based on a few shirts I own.
Rated Intermediate simply because knits can be a pain to sew, especially for a beginner, but the actual construction is quite easy.
The shimmer makes it dressy enough to wear for an evening out with a skirt or nice slacks, but the style is versatile enough (I think, anyway) that it could be worn as a day top too, paired with jeans.
Material Notes
Shiny knit fabric, found in the clearance $1 a yard bin.

Oh, thank you so very much for the instructions!!! I want to make a top with the neckline like that and have the fabric, but it’s a knit fabric and I am waiting for the serger, which is supposed to be my anniversary present from my husband… :-) So I am very greatful for the instructions and LOVE your version!!!

Thanks!
I hope it turns out well for you! Lucky you, getting a serger! let me know how that woks, I don’t have one and am considering getting one. I sew a lot of knits, so I’m thinking it could be very useful.

Still haven’t gotten one, but I know which one I’m getting. We are on a budget, so one of the fancy Babylocks or Jukis is not in my nearest future. From the ratings on several sites I decided to go with Brother 1034D. If you want you can read about it. After all, we are worth it, aren’t we? :-)

I love the cowl shirts! I would love to know how to draft the pattern! I just love the cowl neck collar!

hey thanks!!! I"m sure others would love this pattern too. I am always looking for something to throw under a suit jacket (shirts are fine but you know you have to iron them and they crease in wearing and often look just too formal), this would fit the bill perfectly.

oh what a great basic piece. Love it! looks great and dressy either for a night out or would look good under a suite jacket. if I drafted myself this – if only I could draft :( I’d be making them in every color I could find. Nice job!

I’m still figuring out drafting myself, slowly but surely! I will try to upload the pattern I made and used so you could get an idea of the shape, it’s quite easy.
