Fitted Turtleneck Ruched Front Long Sleeve Top

A fitted women's top in stretch knit with a doubled turtleneck collar, long set-in sleeves and a centre front panel gathered into both princess seams.

When To Wear

In autumn and winter on its own or under a jacket or cardigan.
With trousers, jeans or skirts; tucked in or worn over the waistband.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Close-fitting.

Length: Hip length.

Collar: Turtleneck cut as one piece, folded in half and stitched to the neckline, with its seam at the left shoulder. The collar ring must pass over the head.

Sleeves: Long one-piece set-in sleeves, set into the open armhole; sleeve and side seam sewn in one pass.

Front: Princess seams; the centre front panel is gathered along both seams for horizontal ruching, with smooth side front panels.

Back: One piece without seams.

Finishing: Elastic or narrow zigzag stitch; 1.5 cm hems at the body and sleeves, turned up and topstitched with a twin needle.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Few pieces; the only extra step is gathering the centre front panel to match the side panels.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with medium to high stretch, in natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

None besides fabric and thread.

Cutter's Must

From main fabric:
1. Center front – 1 piece
2. Back – 1 piece
3. Side front – 2 pieces
4. Sleeve – 2 pieces
5. Collar – 1 piece

Attention! Before starting, check that the collar, when sewn into a ring, fits over the head.

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics should be sewn with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.
