The top wasn’t talked about on the Minerva site. The top is the Westminster by Styla. Here is the link for that pattern. https://littlelizardking.com/products/styla-westminster
I’m hosting a monthly sew along on instagram under the name, monthlysewalong. This was the pattern for the month of August. I think I pulled the elastic too tight but at first it was too loose and looked like this.
I need to find enough tension to tame the shoulders but not too much tension that it’s pulling at the neckline. I chose to do the square neck with the short sleeves and elastic. I’m working on the other version offered which is shirred sleeves. I like the pattern and the fit but in order to achieve that cute neckline the whole top is fully lined so it’s not an ideal make for warmer weather, it’s a better cold weather top. I followed my measurements and make the size 10 but I did print off a size 12 for the next attempt. The seam allowances are 3/8 inch so there isn’t any wiggle room if you need to let out a seam.
I’ll add the pictures of the next make to this post when it’s done so you can see the contrast in the different versions.
Happy Sewing friends!
