Nadia –
Wonderful Quick Sew with Flattering Results!
I recently made the sleeveless version of the cowl neck top (inspired by Karina from Lifting Pins and Needles) and was thrilled with how quickly it came together—less than two days from start to finish! This was definitely one of the easier and more enjoyable sewing projects I’ve tackled in 2025.
The pattern features beautifully shaped princess seams that add subtle structure and a flattering fit. I used a lightweight cotton chambray with embroidered edges, and the design really helped showcase the fabric—especially where I placed the embroidery on the front panels and used the plain sections for contrast on the side bodice pieces. I finished the armholes with bias tape for a clean, professional look.
This pattern is a fantastic combination of speed, style, and thoughtful design. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fast project with a polished result!
