DIY EXPOSED SEAMS TOP (PDF PATTERN)

[@CoolStitches]

I’m sorry but I’ve just noticed that the settings I shared for my serger are incorrect. I don’t have the left needle on so it’s a 3 thread stitch instead of 4. Just ignore the settings in the left needle and take that one out. Again, I’m sorry for the mistake 🙏

[@rhonddalesley]

You’ve no idea how helpful this tip was, I’ve never known of anyone else ever mention it and I have the same serger as you so it should at least be the perfect place to start, thank you!

[@vainilla99]

I love turtlenecks! I might try making this pattern, thank you :)

[@kirstylikesstuff7390]

Got my very first overlocker yesterday and I thinkkkk, once I've purchased some cotton Jersey, this might be my first proper project!

[@CoolStitches]

Yaaay! Let me know how it went 🥰🥰

[@TanjaKuller]

Just purchased the pattern and my fabric comes in tomorrow! So excited to make this!

[@AlexandraBurnett]

Love this! The tutorial and the top!!!!! So so beautiful and clear! Quick question, would one be able to make this without a server? I am thinking a zig zag stitch could possibly create a similar effect?

[@CoolStitches]

O think that the way it would work best for anyone who doesn't have a serger would be to use a flat felled seam. It would look good in contrasting thread and I think the seam would hold up really well. But to be honest I haven't tested it so I'd have to to make sure it works 😬

[@CoolStitches]

Or maybe create 'bias' tape with a stretchy fabric to close the seams?

[@cocolatte971]

Hey Alex! I've done a similar diy using a zigzag stitch on a rib knit tee , and it worked just as well (-: it just won't be as clean looking is all

[@romeeb6437]

I’ve made the top and i love how it looks. The only thing was i made a size 38 and it fits like 34/36, it fits but its a little to tight. Maybe it’s the stretch but i’m gonna make it again with a bigger size. Hopefully this time it will fit better!

[@bluperbipb7824]

I love this. Thank you so much for uploading!!

[@SuperBwilde]

Thank you for this pattern- I just made it. It was my first time sewing knits using the serger - super easy. I used a thrifted men's cotton turtleneck that did not have enough stretch and it is a little small ( I think the stretch is the problem??) Although I did not see where the sizes corresponded to measurements. Can't wait to make it again with the right material.

Hey! I’m looking at making the bias tape version of this top, do you think that version would work without the serger?

[@louiset2079]

Very cool.....I have seen these popping up on IG!

[@cressidaaaaa]

Nice pattern only thing I’ll says is to have the option to filter out the sizes to print instead of having only one option for all the sizes to print. I just wanted print out size 40 but there was not option to select only that size. Lastly. I wish the sizes ranges bigger because the larger size 48 is technically a size small/medium. Ohhh and I wish the lines of the sizes were different colors because it’s kinda hard to point out the lines when cutting. Other than that I love the pattern and I’ll be making a few more of these tops for myself

[@svpphirebvby]

What seam allowance do you use for the exposed seams?

[@tigerm0th]

Hi! Love this one! Can't find anywhere the amount of fabric needed, cn you help me :) ?

[@nalah.online]

I’m looking for the same

[@CoolStitches]

Hey there! Just a meter is enough for any of the sizes 🤗

[@pamelalovell917]

I just purchased the pattern. Is this the only way you give instructions or are there paper instructions I can read as I sew along? Thanks

[@CoolStitches]

As of now there’s only video instructions but I’m working on updating the pattern which will include written instructions 🙏

[@kurtliv]

I love it, thanks!

[@CoolStitches]

Thank you so much! 🖤

[@stephtime]

cant wait to make this!! yeeeeeee!!!

[@madeleinespencer1739]

Hi! How did you complete the neck line and arm holes on the sleeveless version? I really like that option but I’m not sure to to make it look so smooth? Is it two layers of fabric? Thanks!

[@CoolStitches]

I made that one using the burrito method! You need to cut two upper front pieces and two backs. I’d love to blue able to explain how it’s done with words but I’m finding it hard 🙈 but let me try. You sew the back piece to the front piece at the shoulders. Do the same to the other front and back piece. Than put them right sides facing and sew the neckline and armholes. Turn everything inside out and you’ll have a clean neckline and harmholes 🤗 the rest you sew as you would for the regular version!

[@madeleinespencer1739]

@@CoolStitches that makes sense! Thank you 😊

[@luccocquyt6369]

[@evacassol4711]

Hi! This will be my second piece ever made! Can't wait to try it :) Is the seams allowance are included ? :)

[@CoolStitches]

Yaaay! The seam llowance is included and it’s 1 cm 🤗

[@evacassol4711]

Thanks a lot!

[@internetplustv]

Has anyone attempted this with a regular machine?

[@horstgunther8439]

Yes! On her instagram are some instructions for making it without serger
