I have been hard at work on my next patterns. As always I worked with some great pattern testers and the Lucy Top is finally here! If you follow along on Facebook which by the way is how we find our fabulous testers. Spots fill up pretty quick, but you get sneak peeks of new patterns and the opportunity to help test. The Lucy top is quite possibly one of my favorites. I was really wanting something that was really easy to wear, while having a modern flair.
The Lucy tunic is also reversible, which is a great perk. Two shirts in one! Both chic and stylish. The wide boat neck, neckline is one of my favorite styles. I just love how it lays. (shown here paired with the Lovely Rita’s)
I love the wrap front style as well. No worries if button holes trip you up the pattern includes an alternative to the button hole.
The top has a cute A line flow about it that lays so nicely. And of course there are pockets! Some inseam pockets (also reversible) for keeping treasures in.
Cute little pleated short sleeves finish off the look which is perfect for warmer weather and a great layering piece for cooler weather. With so many different combinations of fabrics to choose from it makes such a great addition to any wardrobe.
Pattern is available in the shop in sizes 12 months-6 years.
Now available for Women too!

Beautiful top! This is just the style I love for girls – simple, stylish, contemporary but not too trying to be adults clothing, if you know what mean.
Jan

Stephanie
Such a cute top. I love her headband too. Did you make that?
Shauna@shwinandshwin
I did make the headband, it is actually the belt that I made here:<br />http://shwinandshwin.blogspot.com/2012/01/felted-flower-belt.html<br />Since it is on a stretchy band it doubles as a hair band 🙂
Eric and Carrie
LOVE this top! I will definitely be making this! Gotta love a stylish top for kids, they're hard to come by!

This is so cute! How easy/difficult would it be to up-size it to a size 8-10? <br />Thanks!<br />
Shauna@shwinandshwin
You know I don't think it would be very difficult, the pattern does go up to a size 6, so the 8-10 wouldn't be too far of a stretch. The size 6 is designed to fit a chest measurement of 25 inches so it would really be a matter of adding extra width to fit in the chest, length to the overall pattern and I would add a little more room under the arm, the pattern pieces are not overly complex
Kathi
Great!! That is good to know – Thanks!!
Mrs. S

I love this pattern! Can you tell me what fabric you used for the green top? A friend of mine wants exactly that one, but I can't seem to find the right color of green. Thanks!
LeslieW.
cute! I wish this came bigger. Like to 10? Perfect for leggings or skinny Jeans.

When you cut the front part of the top out are you cutting both out at once as it's folded or do you need to lay the material out flat and cut 2? Does it matter?<br />
Christelle
I would also love it, but would need pattern for greater sizes 8 – 10y…
Christelle
P.S. I am a beginner, so I do not feel comfortable with stretching patterns…
Kristin
Where did you find the quatrefoil patterned fabric? I have a gift bag with that exact pattern that I have saved, because I wanted it to be fabric SO BADLY. Please tell me if you know which fabric designer it is- I would appreciate it!!
MIchelle
