Wonderful design and a quick sew

This top is so simple, but well designed. I usually tend toward more complex patterns but I'm so glad I have this one a try. It's such a great way to use a beautiful fabric and really let it shine. I plan to make many more as this will be a great wardrobe staple for me.

Made this twice

I’m a beginner at sewing clothes. This is the first piece of clothing I’ve sewed that I actually wear. I’ve made it twice so far. I love the neck facing. It adds such a pretty detail and was a great technique for a beginner to finish a neckline.

Cedar Dolman Top

First ever time using a pattern to make clothing and I was looking for a top that I can use for work, so I picked one that appeared to be easy.... At first I was overwhelmed by how much work it looked like after I printed it, but then I sat down and read through the instructions and put it all together and was surprised at how easy it actually was! I love this top! I made a few slight changes and will make a few more for the next one that I create, but I LOVE THIS PATTERN! So easy for a beginner.

Fun and easy sew, getting lots of compliments on my new top!

This pattern was fun and easy to sew - I used a fun rayon print which was the perfect combination of flowy drape without sheerness. I am getting lots of compliments on my new top!

Cedar top - A fabulous pattern!

My daughter and I have both made multiple garments from this pattern. We both add two inches to length (personal preference) but otherwise, with each of us using the size calculator, we have had amazing results. It is quick to sew, goes together beautifully and very clear instructions. I could not not give enough praise!

Quick and easy

This pattern is quick to cut out and quick to sew. I did find it a snugger fit than the Montrose top, as the Montrose has the darts. I will definitely make it again
