Fibre Mood Lia Top

Buy the Lia Top sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. What says summer better than bare shoulders? Well, Lia has that base (un!)covered. This unique off-the-shoulder top is tastefully tailored above the bust and gracefully fans out underneath. The knife pleats add fullness to the top. The statement sleeves have a curved hemline and are shorter at the front than at the underarm seam. Bring on the sunshine!

This sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:

– PDF (available to download immediately after purchase). What is a PDF?

– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these. The PDF files will be emailed immediately after purchase, and the A0 pattern sheets will be dispatched next working day). What is Copy Shop?

Suggested fabrics: Lia works best in a woven fabric. If you want the top to turn out soft and swishy, select a fabric with a fluid drape (e.g. silk satin, double gauze, viscose crepe, or muslin). A more structured fabric such as poplin or batiste will result in a more statement top.
