Fabulous top, I have made three, and plan to make more, it’s so smart and comfortable. Watch the you tube tutorial to get the front accurate though.

Hello from Ausđ I love this pattern. I have used it twice now, one for tunic and the second time I extended the hemline to make a dress. It looks terrific, I used a lovely Thai silk and it sits beautifully, it will be lovely for evening wear if we can ever leave the house again with this pandemic! I loved that I could get the pattern immediately in PDF format, it was a bit tricky getting the print scaling right, but all good now, please persevere it will make life easier! The neck was fiddly but the utube clip helped, the second time I made it up, it was much easier. I will certainly be using your patterns again.

I thought the pattern was good, although it took me a while to work out how to fit the collar. However, when I’d finished it I thought the neck was quite close and therefore warm and the hem was quite airy. If it was warm enough to wear a top with such an airy hem I would like a less enclosed neckline, so probably won’t wear it. Nothing wrong with the pattern but not my style

Love the design of the Teddy Top! The changes I made were streamlining the hemline flare a bit (about 1/2″ on both R and L seams) to fit just a bit closer to the body. I also applied and stay-stitched the facing as directed except for the part at the point in front where the front seams, collar, and facing all come together. That part was a bit fiddly but found that doing fine stitch work by hand made it all come together much more easily.
I’m going to make this a bit longer for a comfy, loose fitting dress out of linen for next summer. I may make the back of the collar a little smaller.
Style Arc tops are the bomb! I’ve now made about 5 or 6 and they have quickly become my favorites.

Loved this pattern and have already made 6for myself and my daughter. Very flattering shape that has lent itself to lots of different embellishment opportunities. I have just embroidered the front of a pale turquoise 1 with hydrangeas and I am thrilled with it. Brilliant for many different shapes. Get it!

I love the look of the pattern, but the directions are a nightmare, which is why i gave it 3 stars.The tunic top has printed, “on the fold” but when I started sewing, it states to sew the front seam. It needs thinner fabric for the collar to work. I will make it again. But I’ll be aware of the previous errors.

I have only given 4 stars because of the contradictory instructions.
I made the short top but lengthened it by 1 inch as I wanted it to sit a little lower. This is striking style and love the dramatic collar but also the fact that it can be worn down as well.
As with all these patterns you do need to have some experience as the instructions do not cover every thing. However the instructions for putting the facing on and sewing up the centre seam were totally contradictory to the line drawings and I would advise you to watch the video to know what order you need to do things. Plus on my pattern the hem facing pieces say cut out in main fabric, no mention of fuse yet the list of pattern pieces on page 2 says cut out in both main and fuse?
I did fuse the hem facings but then redid them without as the top did not hang well, it is much better without. I used a soft light weight batik fabric.
I will make this again and have some soft cotton lawn earmarked for it.

I gave 4 stars because I luv the top and had been looking forward to making it. I have loved all patterns I have purchased from u. This one I found impossible to get the collar to fit between notches properly. I made out of heavyweight linen or should I say tried–unfortunately it’s now in the bin and I am very unhappy.

This is a very easy top/tunic to make. The instructions are easy to follow and it goes together in a breeze.
I will defiantly be making more of these tops with this wonderfully dramatic collar.

I made the teddy top and the teddy tunic! The collar is just fab and adds drama to this top. There is a video tutorial on sewing the collar and how to get the front just right. I made one out of seersucker. That was too stiff. I made one top and one tunic using lighter weight viscose fabric. Success. For the tunic I used the fusible interfacing in the collar and only part of the back hem. On the top I used the interfacing everywhere the pattern calls for the interfacing. You get a different look with more or less interfacing in the hem bands. I have fabric picked out for at least one more teddy tunic. I definitely like this pattern too!

Another great Arc top. It was fairly easy to work on this top although the centre neck V was a little tricky. Will be making it again soon.
