I spent a long time debating on which view of Butterick 5890 I wanted to create. I finally decided on top D because I absolutely love shirts with a peter pan collar. I really like that this pattern asks for a contrasting fabric for the collar, because it makes this collar pop even more. The thing that made it even more perfect was adding a tiny bow to the middle of the collar, but you can very well add a cute button or pin. It's so easy to embellish and I love adding my own details.
Butterick 5890 really comes together quite easily and I could definitely recommend this pattern to a beginner sewer. In this project you'll learn not only how to create the peter pan collar, but also how to put in a zipper, do self lined sleeves and create tucks. The tucks are the techniques used to give the top that unique pleating in the front and back of the top. You'd be surprised at how incredibly easy it is to create this design and yet it's very effective in creating a silhouette with a cinched waist and a flared out hemline. The overall look is very unique.
This Butterick pattern is from their new summer line. You can order it directly from their site here.
Your version of this pattern couldn’t be any cuter!
I enjoyed watching your video. I posted a comment on YouTube but I don’t think it worked. I was very interested on the technique presented on the seam sewing. I have never come across this before- sew the seam twice close together then trim close to the stitching. How does this affect the comfort for the wearer? I tend to hand sew/overcast my seams after stitching so I guess I’m on the opposite end of this! So I guess I would love to know if this is just part of this particular pattern or is more wide spread?
I do want to say how wonderful you are, giving up your free time to help others.
This tutorial is fabulous. I learned how to make a professional Peter Pan collar. The directions were crystal clear. I can’t wait to upgrade my membership tomorrow. I love this Professor Pincushion site.
look to start trying sewing patterns after seeing this video. this is a good pattern to start with since i only so far sew 2 -4 piece of skirt pattern. one blouse but i need guidance.
Love it. It looks like one of those tops that you can make with every fabric to go with anything.
So cute! Would love to make this top 🙂
This top is so cute, I can see it in a variety of fabrics, I hope to win this pattern.
What a great looking collar! I’d love to try this pattern out.
This top is so adorable! Fun and professional all rolled into one :). Fingers crossed I win it and can follow along with the tutorial.
Look just great on you, I am happy to see that you have partner with McCall company and is using their patterns in your tutorials, I use most of their pattern to sew, I find them easy to follow and the make up garments fit prefectly
