The Linnéa top is a great wardrobe staple for any woman. Linnéa has a tight fit, with negative ease over bust, waist and hips. 

Choose to sew the top with a jewel neckline, finished with a neckband, or a trendy mock turtleneck. Choose short, 3/4 sleeves or long sleeves.

Use my size guide to help you choose the correct size. The tutorial also helps you make modifications to the pattern to fit your unique body shape and your preferences. One of the beauties of making your own clothes!

Fabric: The pattern is designed for and tested in light to medium weight knit fabrics, such as jersey and college/french terry, with at least 40% stretch. Use the stretch guide in the pattern to evaluate your fabric.

The fabric requirement below is an estimation for 160 cm (63”) wide fabrics, not preshrunk. We recommend you to add 20 cm (8”) extra if you’re purchasing new fabric for this project.

Optional: to stabilise the shoulder seams, 6-10 mm wide clear elastic, or other firm elastic. Alternatively you can use a strip of light weight woven fabric, cut on the bias.

Sewing machine needle: Don’t forget to use the right needle for your fabric, for knit fabrics a stretch needle is usually recommended.

Other useful materials: Coordinating thread, fabric scissors, needles/clips, tape measure.

Choose a size based on your body measurements: bust, waist and hip width. The top’s length is not all the way down to the hip but almost. The pattern is designed for a woman who is 160-172 cm tall. If you’re taller or shorter you may need to lengthen/shorten the top (see Sewing Instructions).

B cup is assumed for all sizes. In the Sewing Instructions you can read about how to determine your cup size in sewing (not the same as bra size), and how to modify the pattern to fit your unique body.
