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.

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!

I did a crop Quinn from @madeformermaids and paired it with a the skirt piece from the @patternsforpirates Wiggle.

Sewing with sequins wasn’t nearly as bad as it previously was and sewing with velour is terror. It was such a beautiful and intimate event!

But y’all. The @petitestitchery Olive is my new favorite sweater. The crop hits perfectly and the options scream “let me swaddle you in comfort!”

And these Norah’s... I’m not going to lie—I was nervous about the ruching. I did a dress with ruching and let’s just say I’m still healing from how long and badly it turned out. But these were so fast and easy!!!

The fabric is from the incredible @milymaefabrics and is so cozy.
