Sew House Seven Revel Topper

Buy the Revel Topper sewing pattern from Sew House Seven. The Revel Topper is a quick and satisfying make with some great design details. 

All versions have a cut-on shawl collar with a yoke-like collar facing. The collar facing can be attached from the inside or outside, allowing for a concealed construction or a purposeful front yoke for colour blocking, pattern mixing, embroidery, etc. The Revel pairs well with high-waist pants and skirts and looks great as a short top, but is also just long enough to tuck into a mid-rise bottom.

Views A and B have angled bust darts but a fairly loose fit and are semi-cropped. View A has short cut-on sleeves with wide stitched-down facings, while View B has elbow length cut-on sleeves with cuffs. Version C is a modified poncho with wide, bracelet length sleeves. This version is very loose and does not have darts.
