PATTERN < CEDAR > CROP TOP

Printed in large format and ready to use, our patterns are designed to make your job easier. The pieces do not overlap, and seam allowances are included and clearly visible, allowing you to cut directly into your pattern without spending time tracing everything. We also include lots of sewing anecdotes and tips to help you successfully complete your project.
Our paper patterns are delivered in their < disclothed > paris cardboard sleeve, so you can store and keep them neatly in your workshop. The layout has been optimized to use as little paper as possible 🌱

You also receive :

• A < disclothed > paris woven label made in southern France
• A technical sheet including the cutting plan and QR codes linking to the digital assembly range and the full tutorial video

In a hurry? Choose our PDF patterns : we put just as much care and love into these as we do into our paper patterns (ease of use, sewing tips, etc.), but they have the added advantage of being more affordable and landing directly in your inbox as soon as your order is confirmed. You’ll receive them in A4 or A0 (large format) if you want to send them to your printer. A US Letter version is also available for American printers. If you’ve never used a PDF pattern before, we’ll explain how it works here.

You’ll also receive a technical sheet including the cutting plan and QR codes linking to the digital assembly range and the full tutorial video.

• Apply fusible stay tape (straight grain)
• Make a basting stitch
• Sew an invisible zipper
• Apply invisible bias binding to a neckline with an invisible zipper at the center back
• Apply invisible bias binding to armholes

Intermediate. The < cedar > top is suitable for those who have already sewn a few projects. Although the cut appears simple, the finishing can quickly become tricky for beginners — especially attaching the invisible zipper and bias binding.

• Know how to thread your sewing machine and perform basic settings (stitch length and stitch selection)
• Understand the right side/wrong side of a fabric and grainline
• Know how to backstitch (to secure your stitches)
• Know what a seam allowance is
• Understand what an overlock / overcast / serger stitch is and how to make one (using a zigzag stitch or a serger if you have one)

It will take 5 to 6 hours to complete your < cedar > top

Seam allowances are always included and visible on our sewing patterns. They are 1 cm here

• No stretch is needed for this design (which is oversized). However, you can use a stretch fabric if you prefer, saving yourself the trouble of sewing a zipper at the center back. Any jersey would work well if you like a casual look and want to avoid complex finishes — you’ll get a sort of sleeveless, cropped t-shirt for a cool, effortless silhouette.
• For a more sophisticated look, we recommend using a woven, non-stretch fabric (in this case, a zipper at the center back is required). For this option, we suggest a heavier-weight fabric (around 300–350g/m) to ensure your < cedar > top has a nice structure in the end.
• Please note that the jersey version (without a zipper) will be perfectly accessible to sewing beginners, while the more sophisticated version with the recommended finishes is intermediate level.

• a sewing machine
• fabric (see fabric consumption below)
• thread
• a 15 cm invisible zipper
• a special invisible zipper presser foot
• fusible stay tape (approximately 50 cm)
• a pair of paper scissors

• a seam ripper, just in case !
