Pattern Information
Helens Closet Ashton Top
This pattern includes two size options. There is a B-cup pattern from sizes 0-22 and a D-cup pattern from sizes 12-30.
The Ashton Top is an all-season wardrobe staple that is easy to sew and style! Wear it during cooler months with jeans and a cardigan, or pair it with shorts for summer. The Ashton has bust darts and a signature A-line shape. View A is a hip-length top and view B is a crop top, ideal for pairing with high-waisted pants or skirts. Both views have the option to finish the neck and arms with an all-in-one facing or bias binding. The hem is finished using a beautiful hem facing. The Ashton makes a great stash-buster!
Sewing Level: Advanced Beginner
Recommended Fabrics:
The Ashton can be made in a wide variety of woven fabrics. Try light to medium-weight cotton or linen for a structured look. Silk crêpe de chine, Tencel twill, or rayon challis will result in an Ashton with more drape. Fabrics with more drape work better for tucking into skirts or pants, whereas stiffer fabrics showcase Ashton’s A-line shape.
Ashton Top Sleeve expansion pack. The original Ashton Top PDF Pattern is required to make this top.
Size Range: 0-30 (up to a 58″ / 147.5 cm bust)
This pattern includes two size options. There is a B-cup pattern from sizes 0-22 and a D-cup pattern from sizes 12-30.
Transform your favourite woven tank into a fabulous sleeved top with this expansion pack! Four sleeve options are provided, including a straight short or long sleeve that can be cuffed to suit your style, a butterfly sleeve, and a petal sleeve. This expansion pack also includes a new shoulder and arm opening for the Ashton Top so you get a great fit in the shoulders. Plus there is a patch pocket so you can add front pockets to your Ashton Top too! The possibilities are endless.
Modern Sewing Co Spring Trousers
The Spring Trousers are designed to feel breezy and elegant with plenty of space to move. They work amazingly well in a huge range of fabrics, from silks to denims, linens and heavy corduroys. Your fabric choice will determine the character of your garment; you could make a cosy corduroy trouser for winter or a floaty silk piece for a wedding. Both work equally well which is unusually versatile for a pattern.
