Today I’m excited to announce that you can now buy both of my patterns in one bundle for a discounted price of $16 (separately it’s $19.50 to buy both). The Beginner's Bundle includes both the Lou Box Top and Baseball Skirt pdf sewing patterns. These two patterns are a great way to practice your sewing skills and build your handmade wardrobe. Both are designed for beginners, with easy to follow steps. And as a bonus they use only about a yard of fabric each.
Today I'm excited to share a super simple hack for the Lou Box Top pdf pattern. Back slits are totally on trend right now and they are very easy to make. I made a couple of slit back tops a few years ago using Simplicity 1661 (here and here) and I really like the unexpected drama of a slit back. I knew I'd love this version too. This top is part of my Fall Sewing Plans and (lucky you!) I'm going to tell you how to make it. And, did I mention, it's super, super easy? Yup. Just the way I like it.
I've been asked a few times about how to line the Lou Box Top and I finally got around to trying it. It turned out to be much easier than I anticipated and possibly easier than the traditional method! It's a little harder to visualize but very easy to sew as you won't need to do any binding. for the neck edge.
