Sew Over It Cora Top

Buy the Cora Top sewing pattern from Sew Over It. Cora is an easy, breezy wardrobe staple that you won’t be able to sew just one of. Easily dressed up or down, this top pairs beautifully with your smartest tailored trousers for work, as well as your comfiest jeans for a weekend at home. It can be worn tucked in or loose to suit your style. The pattern also includes a kaftan-style dress option.

Cora features a V-shaped neckline finished at the front with a unique pleat detail. The back also sports a pleat, which cleverly creates the appearance of a yoke, and keeps the shoulders that bit more fitted. The grown-on sleeves are comfortable and simple to sew, whilst the high-low hem has shallow angled side slits. With just four pattern pieces it’s a fantastic evening project, and a great pattern for anyone new to sewing with lightweight drapey fabrics.
