I wanted to make this top as soon as I saw the pattern because I liked the ribbon detail on the armhole that gives slight gathers.
I was after a smart top to go with some trousers and made this pattern out of a royal micro satin material that I had in my stash. The fabric was quite wide and so I was able to use less than 1m, so a good stash buster pattern.
I only gave it 4 stars because of all the alterations that I had to make to the pattern.
I have very sloping shoulders and always have to alter shoulder seams and armholes, so I'm pleased that I decided to make a toile. I removed 4cm in armhole depth on both the front and back. I then took 2cm off the back shoulder and added it to the front and redrew the back neckline.
There was still too much fabric under the armholes: so I took 2cm off the from the front side seam and added it to the centre front and redrew the neck line. I took 2cm off the back width at the armhole and then tapered it out to the side seam.
Once all the adjustments were made then it was a very quick make.
This is a pattern that I will make again and I'm looking forward to making it in a lightweight gauzy type fabric for a different look.

Pattern: Gaia by I AM Patterns is a sleeveless cami top with a V-shaped neckline. The ribbon is used to gather the fabric at the shoulders.
Sizing: EU 36 to 46 (for my make I cut a size 40)
Fabric: 0.85 m Atelier Brunette Stardust fabric
Notions: 2m gold bias tape 1cm wide (double fold)
Modifications: did a swayback of 1cm at the centre back, and later after making a wearable toile, I took a wedge 1 cm at the shoulder point going into nothing at the neckline. Also, I used a 3 cm deep hem, rather than the 2 cm as instructed.
Fit: good. Apart from the neckline and armholes, there is not much else to fit as the top is a loose garment.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?: yes
Watch out for: this pattern is so simple and beginner-friendly that I did not find faults with it.
Make Again?: yes, I’ll be making many more versions of this. It’s been added to my list of TNT (Tried and tested patterns list).
