Loved this pattern and it brought the whole “t-shirt” look to a new level with the placket and collar.
Definitely, on my sew again list.
I find all of your patterns well drafted and the instructions are very complete.
I am in a garment sewing group and often recommend your patterns for beginners and experienced seamstresses.
Thank you and keep creating.

This is a very large shirt when the size selection is made using just body measurements; the finished garment measurements should definitely be considered in choosing a size and fit. That said, pattern instructions and styling are very good.

Hi Aimee, thank you for sharing your experience. It’s interesting that yours turned out large because the ease is very minimal. For example, the ease for size 20 regular bust is only 3/4″ at the bust. Some sizes even have a tiny bit of negative ease. I suggest you check the printout to see if you printed the pattern to scale.

Instructions were very clear and after a bit of manipulating, I got the placket and collar finished. I love this top and looking forward to wearing it on holidays later this month. I will be making more of this pattern and encourage you to have a go as well!

I love my Venado Top! The shawl collar is stinking cute and definitely takes a jersey top to the next level. The instructions are well-written and the illustrations are great for clarification. I’m not super comfortable with sewing knits but I am so happy with how this top has turned out. Thank you for a great pattern!
For reference:
I am 5’3″ and my measurements are 34-29-39. I blended the sizes from 4 (bust) to 8 (hip). I shortened the bodice by 1.5″ and the sleeves by 3″. The top sits at my full hip.

I chose this pattern because I like the collar. I haven’t made a shawl collar on a tee- shirt before, so it was a new and interesting experience. The making instructions were very clear with excellent diagrams. I finished the garment yesterday. looking forward to wearing it.

The design is a great way to make a polo shirt more elevated. Easy to follow instructions.
