Free pattern: Womens peasant top

Melissa from Melly Sews and Blank Slate Patterns shares a free pattern for a womens peasant top. It’s an easy style of top to make. You can give it short sleeves, elbow length sleeves, or long sleeves. Not one to let you commit a fashion faux pas, she also shares some caveats so the gathered top is flattering to a woman’s figure. Her free pattern fits a 36″ hip. It’s an easy pattern to adjust, so if you need another size it shouldn’t be that big of a deal to size it up or down.
