Meet the Camille Top: An Easy Everyday Sewing Pattern
If you’re looking for a simple top sewing pattern that you can actually wear again and again, meet the Camille Top.
The Camille Top is a beginner friendly PDF sewing pattern designed to work just as well for everyday outfits as it does for the office. It has a clean, simple silhouette with a subtle gathered ruffle detail that makes it a little more interesting than your basic sleeveless top.
A Simple Top You Can Wear Anywhere
One of the main ideas behind the Camille Top was to create something versatile.
The neckline and wider shoulder coverage make the top bra friendly, while the loose but not oversized fit makes it comfortable and easy to style.
Pair it with jeans for an everyday outfit, wear it with tailored trousers for work, or style it with a skirt for a slightly more dressed up look.
It is the kind of handmade piece that can easily become part of your everyday wardrobe.
A Beginner Friendly Sewing Project
The Camille Top is also a great project for confident beginners who want to practise sewing clothes while creating something wearable.
While sewing the top, you will practise techniques including:
- sewing bust darts
- gathering fabric
- finishing seams
- sewing narrow hems
- attaching a gathered ruffle
The pattern comes with detailed written instructions as well as a step by step video sewing
tutorial, so you can follow along throughout the construction process.
Make the Camille Top Your Own
A simple silhouette also gives you plenty of room to make the Camille Top feel like your own.
Choose a classic neutral fabric for an easy wardrobe staple, a linen or linen blend for a relaxed summer look, or a print to make the ruffle detail stand out.
Once you have made one, it is an easy pattern to come back to in different fabrics for completely different looks.
Sew Your Own Camille Top
The Camille Top PDF sewing pattern includes A4, US Letter and A0 pattern files, a detailed written sewing guide and a step by step video tutorial.
If you’re looking for a beginner friendly top sewing pattern with a bra friendly design and an easy to wear everyday fit, the Camille Top might be your next sewing project.
