French Navy Vetiver Top Pattern Expansion

Buy the Vetiver Top Pattern Expansion sewing pattern from French Navy. Use this pattern expansion to add long sleeves and/or a Peter Pan collar to your Vetiver Top. If you've found yourself regularly reaching for your Vetiver Tops throughout the warmer months and wishing for a winter-friendly version, then this expansion is for you.

The Peter Pan collar can of course be used with both the short- and long-sleeved versions, adding a cute detail to compliment the feminine lines of the top.
