Organic Cotton Collins Top

If you follow the Sewcialists then you will know that it’s #sewstripes month! I was really lucky to respond to a call for contributors for them and made a very special stripey Collins Top especially for a guest post on the Sewcialists blog!

The pattern I chose is the Collins Top by In the Folds which is absolutely perfect for stripes! I really committed to my new mantra of slow sewing with this garment as I made the inside look as nice as the outside. In fact, this is the only garment I made in January – I made the slippers and tailor’s hams but because of how long it took me to make my own bias binding / do all flat-felled seams inside / Hong-Kong bind the back seam and facings as well as bind the hem, there wasn’t any time for me to make anything else! And I’m not mad about it – I thoroughly enjoyed the sewing and all the attention to detail and feel it’s a really sustainable way for me to enjoy sewing without churning out loads of garments!

Anyway, here are a few pictures of the top I made but you will have to head over to the Sewcialists blog here to read all about it.
