Tech. Description

Asymmetric Draped Long Sleeve Top

When To Wear

In autumn and winter, tucked under jackets and cardigans or worn on its own with trousers and skirts.
For the office or an evening out, where the draped front adds detail without fastenings.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Close-fitting, hip length.

Collar: Stand-up collar cut in one with the front and back, finished at the back with an interfaced neckline facing.

Front: Front cut on the fold with a separate overlay panel, gathered along the shoulder edge, stitched to the front along the top edge of the collar, turned to the right side and then handled as one piece with the front; the overlay ends in a point below the hem on one side.

Sleeves: Long set-in sleeves with a single underarm seam.

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

Finishing: Outer and lower edges of the overlay, hem and sleeve ends turned up 1.5 cm and topstitched; a twin needle or coverstitch keeps the hems elastic.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Gathering and attaching the overlay panel, finishing a cut-on collar with a facing between front and back at the shoulder seams, and sewing knit fabric with stretch stitches.

Fabric Recommendations

Soft knit fabric with medium stretch, of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible knit interfacing (back neckline facing)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams - 1.0 cm; hem allowance for the garment bottom and sleeve - 1.5 cm. Allowance along the outer edge of the flying front - 1.5 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Attention! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side!

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 1 piece on fold
- Flying front – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Back neckline facing – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Back neckline facing – 1 piece

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

Sewing Instructions

Interface the pieces with fusible interfacing.
Serge the outer and lower edges of the flying front, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
Along the left shoulder edge of the flying front, stitch with a loosened upper thread and gather. Place the flying front right side down onto the wrong side of the front and stitch the upper edge of the integrated stand-up collar.
