Tech. Description

Long Sleeve Cutout Wrap Top

A fitted, hip-length women's top in stretch knit with a double-layer funnel collar, narrow front yokes that leave an open cutout below the collar, and a pleated wrap front. Long set-in sleeves.

When To Wear

In autumn and winter with trousers or a skirt; the high collar covers the neck.
Under a jacket or cardigan, where the collar and the cutout stay visible.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Close-fitting through the body, ending at the hip.

Collar: Funnel collar cut as one strip, stitched into a ring, folded in half lengthwise and attached to the back neckline and the yokes. The collar seam sits at the left shoulder. The collar has no opening, so it must pass over the head.

Front: Two narrow yokes run from the collar along the armholes; their inner edges are turned and topstitched, leaving an open cutout between them. Below, two front pieces overlap in a wrap and are joined to the yokes with pleats. The wrap edges are turned and topstitched.

Sleeves: Long, set-in, with one underarm seam.

Back: One piece, no centre seam.

Finishing: At the sides the front ends 1.5 cm above the back hem edge. Hems of body and sleeves turned up and topstitched with a twin needle.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Pleats laid and secured before the yoke seam, a wrap front assembled from two overlapping pieces, clipped and topstitched cutout edges, a ring collar set into a stretch neckline.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with medium to high stretch, from natural or blended fibres. Seams are sewn with a stretch or narrow zigzag stitch.

Additional Supplies

None besides fabric and thread.

Cutting Plan

From main fabric:

1. Back – 1 piece

4. Sleeve – 2 pieces
5. Collar – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

Attention! Before starting, check that your head fits through the collar stitched into a loop.

Tip: Knit fabric pieces should be stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging/overlocking, trim seam allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. Hem allowances should be topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.

Clip the seam allowance on the front yoke near the mark on the shaped edge. Finish the edge section from the neckline to the mark, fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
Finish the bottom edge of the front and the wrap edge, fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
Mark and form pleats on the front. Secure the ends of the pleats with a stitch 0.5 cm from the edge.
Attach the yoke to the front. Finish the seams and press.
Overlap the front pieces, forming the wrap, and secure them together. Align the side seams of the back and front. The side edge of the front does not reach the bottom edge of the back by 1.5 cm. Stitch the side seams. Finish the seams and press.
Stitch the shoulder seams of the back and front. Finish the seams and press towards the back.
Stitch the sleeve seams. Finish the seams and press.
Set the sleeves into the armholes, matching notches. Finish the seams and press lightly.
Finish the bottom edge of the back and the bottom edge of the sleeves. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
Stitch the collar into a loop. Press the collar in half lengthwise, right side out. Attach the outer side of the collar to the neckline of the back and yoke, matching notches. The collar seam is located at the left shoulder seam. Fold the collar allowances inwards and stitch them together.
