Tech. Description

Short Sleeve Henley Top with Lace Panel

When To Wear

In spring and summer with jeans, trousers or skirts.
Under an open cardigan or jacket, where the lace bib stays visible.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Semi-fitted, straight through the body.

Length: Hip length, with a straight hem turned up and topstitched.

Neckline: Round neckline finished with a narrow stand made from two interfaced pieces, open at the centre front above the placket.

Sleeves: Short set-in sleeves with a turned-up, topstitched hem.

Front: U-shaped lace bib cut on the fold and stitched into the front. The lower part of the bib is backed by a main-fabric insert with a topstitched upper edge, so the lace is sheer only above it.

Closure: Short placket of two folded, interfaced pieces sewn onto the lace, right over left, with 5 buttons sewn through both layers.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, no seams or darts.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Setting a shaped lace bib into a knit front, a placket on lace with clipped corners, and a stand neckline finished by stitching in the ditch.

Fabric Recommendations

Medium-stretch knit fabric of natural or blended fibres for the body; knit lace for the bib.

Additional Supplies

Knit fusible interfacing (neckline stand, plackets)
5 buttons

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance for the bottom edge of the garment and sleeve hem – 1.5 cm, Top allowance for the front insert – 2 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can range from 90cm to 150cm) to determine how much material you will need (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Sewing Instructions

Fuse interfacing to the designated pieces.
Press the placket pieces lengthwise in half, right sides out. Stitch the plackets to the right side of the lace. Clip the lace allowance at the corners, stopping 0.1 cm from the stitching line. Tuck the ends of the plackets inwards, overlapping the right placket over the left, and stitch, securing the bottom edge. Overlock the allowances.
Overlock the top edge of the insert. Fold the allowance inwards and topstitch. Lay the lace over the insert, secure along the bottom shaped edge, and then treat as one piece.
Stitch the lace into the front piece. Clip the allowances, press open, and overlock.
Stitch the side and shoulder seams, press allowances towards the back and overlock.
Fold the facing pieces right sides together and stitch along the outer contour. Start and end the stitching strictly at the marked neckline seam line. Clip the allowances at curves, turn the facings right side out, and press.
Stitch the outer of the facing to the neckline, press allowances towards the facing. Turn under the raw edge of the inner stand and topstitch into the stitching line.
Overlock the allowance of the sleeve hem, press to the wrong side and topstitch. Stitch the sleeve seam, press allowances towards the back and overlock. Set the sleeves into the armholes, press allowances and overlock.
