Shawl Collar Wrap Top

When To Wear

In autumn and winter with trousers, jeans or a straight skirt.
For the office in place of a blouse under an open jacket or cardigan.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted through the body, straight hem at hip level.

Collar: Shawl collar made of four pieces: two interfaced and two plain, joined in pairs and stitched together along the outer edge. The right end is lapped over the left and stitched together along the lower front edge; the collar then forms a shaped panel at the centre front into which the front is sewn, and is set into the back neckline.

Front: One piece, joined to the lower edges of the crossed collar; two buttons sewn through the collar on the right side are decorative.

Sleeves: Long, set-in sleeves sewn into the open armholes; the underarm and side seams are then sewn in one pass.

Back: One piece with no centre back seam.

Finishing: Body and sleeve hems overlocked, turned up and topstitched, with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to keep the stretch.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Sewing knit fabric with stretch stitches, a crossed shawl collar joined to the front panel, and clipping into corners when setting the collar into the back neckline.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric of medium stretch, of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Knit fusible interfacing (collar)
2 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: hem allowance, sleeve hem allowance – 1.5 cm, other seams 0.8 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!

From main fabric:
- Front – 1 piece
- Back – 1 piece
- Collar – 4 pieces
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
- Collar – 2 pieces

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. 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.
