How to sew a Cindy top?

Introducing Cindy, the little surprise exclusively for pdf subscribers! This double-breasted wrap top is the perfect way to start the day off on the right foot, without having to worry in the morning. Simple on the outside, it's got a few pretty details like cuff gathers and batwing sleeves, and best of all, it's easy to adapt. Coordinate it with a skirt like Anaëlle for a Mad Men spirit, or wide-leg pants for a 70's feel, and it's sure to find a place in your wardrobe.

Because the sleeves are an extension of the bust, we recommend a supple fabric for pretty pleats. Avoid materials that are too puffy or crisp. Veils and fine poplins are still good choices (we chose our Grandes Fraises viscose poplin to coordinate with the Anaëlle skirt), but you can also opt for gauze, seersucker, flannel or broderie anglaise... Or why not organza (yes, it's a crunchy material, but the transparency makes up for it) or embroidered tulle!

To make Cindy, you'll need :
-1.50m fabric in 1.40m width,
-fusible webbing,
-4 buttons, 10mm diameter,
-2 18mm-diameter buttons,
-elastic thread,
optional: hand-sewn snap.

Choose pretty buttons, don't hesitate to try on the model before embroidering the buttonholes and sewing on the buttons for the best fit, and if you want to close the neckline, sew on a little snap by hand!
