Evan and I are thrilled to introduce our latest sewing pattern design, The Calvin Crop! This garment is an elegant corset style top designed with simplicity and elegance in mind. It’s the perfect elevated basic to add to your current wardrobe! We've put our hearts and souls into creating a pdf sewing pattern that's not only easy to sew, but also offers a timeless design that you can enjoy for many years to come.
This INTERMEDIATE LEVEL sewing pattern has BEGINNER FRIENDLY sewing instructions, illustrations, as well as this video tutorial to make the construction easy to follow. That being said, the design elements are suitable for intermediate level sewists. You will learn how to make bias tape, how to sew bias binding, how to sew gathers, and how to sew a lining.
Sizes:
0 - 34, which correlate to Full Bust 31"-57" and Waist 24"-50"
The garment was designed for a B cup, which is a 2" (5 cm) difference between the upper bust and full bust measurements; however, if you have larger than a 2" (5 cm) difference, there are detailed directions for fit adjustments on page 12 of the instructions.
This pattern includes:
- Detailed instructions with clear illustrations
- Nested Print at Home Files (US Letter + A4 compatible) with layers
- Large Format File (A0/Copyshop)
- Projector File
- Detailed KZbin Tutorial:
Pattern Details:
- High Cut Square Neckline
- Cropped Length
- Fully Lined and Bias Bound
- Gathered Bust Detail
- Criss Cross Back
Suitable Fabrics:
This pattern is designed for light to midweight fabrics such as linen, suiting, or denim. You may also use heavier weight fabrics such as canvas or wool, but if you do, we recommend omitting the fusible interfacing and using a lighter weight fabric for the lining pieces. Please note that we DO NOT recommend using fabrics with a tight weave, such as quilting cotton or cotton poplin. During testing we found that tightly woven fabrics did not offer the necessary give along the bias to fit the body well, especially at the armband.
The pattern calls for lining fabric, which is used for lining the under bust on the front of the top, and optionally the upper bust on the front of the top. Using a separate lining fabric on the upper bust is only necessary if the rest of your garment is being sewn from a light weight fabric, or if your fabric is too sheer for your comfort when worn. If you're using a lightweight fabric for the garment, you can use the same fabric for both the lining and the garment.

The seam finishes and construction of this garment is so elegant

[@jessilous_closet]

Thank you!! I really love it ❤️

[@daniellewurtzell6053]

Hello! I so appreciate the time you took to detail out a Full Bust Adjustment. Do you have any recommendations on how to perform a small bust adjustment? There is only a 1" difference between my upper and full bust. Thank you!

[@jessilous_closet]

Hi Danielle! The pattern should work great as is for you 🙏

[@Puppy52]

Really nice design!❤

[@jessilous_closet]

Thank you! I’m so excited it’s available now!

[@szvetlana1000]

This pattern is on top of my list right now. Would you please advise on what’s the easiest way to extend this into a dress? Thank you!

[@la.tiffa.caccamo]

I'm also thinking about doing this.. I would not add the waist binding and create kind of a half circle skirt to attach to the top
