Pattern Test: P4P Twist Back Top

by aaronicac | Sep 24, 2019 | Pattern Tests | 0 comments

It’s been about 2 years since I’ve made a top that has the cute back like this one here. When I first made them, I swore my brain was broken! I couldn’t figure out the knot part at all. Needless to say, I’ve practiced a lot and can now whip these up pretty quickly.

Patterns for Pirates Twist Back Top

When I made my top years ago, my kids wanted one but there was no youth pattern. I was super excited that this new release from P4P included both youth and adult sizing. In addition to the different sizing, there’s the option for both tank and sleeved options.

Youth Twist Back Top

I made both of my girls the tops because of quickly these come together. My youngest is wearing a 5T and my oldest is wearing a size 12–I’m crying at how big they’ve both gotten!!! My oldest wore hers all day and then put it back on the next one so I’m thinking this is definitely a winner.

  • The newest pattern from Patterns for Pirates has dropped and it's the Twist Back Top! It comes in both youth and adults and is a must-have!

Adult Twist Back Top

So I’m fairly certain that I’m going to be making a thousand of these for the fall and winter. I love how low the knot is in the back. The different sleeve options make it really versatile for styling and seasons. I have a light black sweater knit that I plan on making and wearing it backward for a plunge v-neck style to wear on a date with my husband!

Styling & Fabric

The tank option I totally will wear once I get off my butt and start working out again. The blue fabric is like a lightweight burnout fabric and is so perfect for working out. The rest of them are a delicious French terry that has a 4-way stretch and is incredibly soft. I can totally see this being made in all fabrics really. I can’t wait to do one in a sweater!

Rating

Definitely a 5 out of 5 needles!

Instagram post 18017779225247809 It’s the final day of freebies for @petitestitchery and I’m absolutely in love with this poncho. I’m about to be like @oprah at Christmas this year like “YOU GET A PONCHO! YOU GET A PONCHO! YOU GET A PONCHO!!!”
.
These are suuuuper easy to make and a fast sew and FREE!
Instagram post 18045888907205954 When I first saw this embroidered black velvet, I immediately knew what i wanted to make. This is suuuuuuper rare for me because I collect fabric as a hobby 😉😉😉. But it literally screamed “MAKE ME INTO A PS I LOVE YOU TOP!!!” And when fabric screams, you listen. 
It was the perfect top to wear tonight as I hung out with some friends.
Instagram post 17855506063666089 I made the new @petitestitchery hat freebie to make hats for the hubs and I! I’m pretty excited about these. It’s always the small stuff that makes me happy!

Naturally there is picot elastic finishing because I think this is becoming a trademark.

Sew Katrice just dropped new retail and it is BANANAS! Check it out!
Instagram post 18066158950199347 One of the things I’ve been really intentional about this year is creating a cohesive wardrobe of colors I love. Mustard, rusts, olives, and navy are all big in my closet right now and I love it because they all mix and match so well.

Both this cardi AND fabric are from @ssefabrics.

I’m rocking all @petitestitchery today—the FREE swanky top turned into a crop paired with the Harmony Harems. I used a bullet fabric from @sincerelyryleefabrics to make this look happen.
