Hi everyone! The Arenal Top sewing pattern is released today! I made 3 Arenal Tops for myself and they are already in heavy rotation in this chillier weather. I think you will love yours as much as I love mine.

The new pattern is 20% now for one week. And if you purchase any two or more patterns from the shop, you can take an additional 15% off your cart using the code lakearenal!

The Arenal Top comes in two bodice/hem options. One is a swing bodice with a subtle handkerchief hi-lo hem. The other one is a fitted bodice with a regular hem. In addition, the pattern comes in two sleeve lengths – long sleeve and 3/4-length sleeve.

My favorite features of this top are the front yokes and the V neck. You can use the same fabric for the yokes, as I did in one of mine. You can also pick something in contrast for an exciting look, or in lace for a soft touch. I love that the V neck is slightly curved and the band is somewhat narrow to complete the delicate look. Many of the testers created their first V neck band using the instructions in the Arenal Top, and they all produced fantastic results.

Here are some of the beautiful creations from the talented testers.

I am very grateful to have help from these testers, who have contributed tremendously to this quality pattern:
