Matchy Matchy Collage Gather Top

Buy the Collage Gather Top sewing pattern from Matchy Matchy Sewing Club. The Collage Gather Top is a classic box top with a twist. Designed to be sewn as a patchwork or with a single fabric, it is easily customisable and comes together quickly. This versatile top is slightly cropped, hitting just below the natural waist, with gathered side panels and two views. View A has a simple cuff sleeve. View B has a 3/4 length, drop shoulder, gathered sleeve finished with a sleeve band.

Note: The Collage Gather Top can be hacked into a dress by adding equal lengths to the Front Center Panel, Back Center Panel and Gathered Panel pieces. Or alternatively, a dress version of the pattern (short sleeve only) is available here.
