Elbe Textiles Staley Top

Buy the Staley Top sewing pattern from Elbe Textiles. The Staley Top pattern comes with two options, perfect for layering together. View A is a cropped jumper, featuring a split hem detail that is slightly longer at the back. View B is a semi fitted T-shirt with a scooped neckline and curved hem. The armscye and sleeve head are the same for both views, which makes it easy to mix and match pattern pieces if you'd prefer View A with short sleeves or View B with long sleeves.

Suggested fabrics: Light to medium weight knit fabrics with at least 30% stretch widthwise. Choose a lightweight, stretchy knit for a slouchy and relaxed fit, or choose a structured knit for a neater fit. 

View A: Ribbing can be used for the neck binding, cuffs, and hem bands if desired, but the main fabric is also great for these sections. 

Fabric requirements: If you're using a patterned fabric with a repeat you'd like to match, you may need more fabric. For View A, if you decide to use ribbing for the neck binding, cuffs, and hem bands, you will need up to 50 cm (0.55 yd).
