This top or dress can be casual or more formal depending on the fabric used. When made with a cotton jersey or interlock fabric, the top can be paired with your favourite shorts or jeans for a great weekend outfit. When made with a slinky knit, Kathryn can be your go-to dress for a night out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pleats around the neckline provide interest to an otherwise simple garment. The pattern has an empire-waist seam and is also shaped at the natural waist. The extended shoulder line covers your upper arms with no separate sleeve to sew. The upper front is lined, and the A-line skirt of the dress version ends at the knee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/how-to-buy-sewing-patterns\/\"\u003ePDF\u003c\/a\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop\u003c\/strong\u003e (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you'll need to download the digital instructions, as we don't print these.

Jersey, interlock and French terry are great choices. If you use fabric with less stretch, you may choose a larger size. Conversely, if you use fabric with more stretch, you may choose a smaller size. The same fabric is used to line the upper front. However, if your knit fabric is on the heavier side, you may choose to line the upper front with a lighter weight knit fabric. Jersey and tricot are great choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFacing fabric: A front neckline facing is used to support the pleats. This facing uses a stable woven fabric. Quilting cotton, lightweight twill, muslin and lightweight broadcloth are great choices. Do not use a loose-weave woven or a fabric that tends to expand such as linen. Do not use knit fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFabric requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimary fabric: 54\" (135 cm) wide fabric: Top, 1 1\/8 - 1 3\/8 yd (100 - 120 cm) \/\/ Dress, 1 1\/2 - 2 7\/8 yd (140 - 260 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFacing fabric: 60\"\/54\"\/44\" (150\/135\/115 cm) wide fabric: Top or Dress, 1\/4 yd (20 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e US 00 – 20 (approx.
