Beautiful Selwyn Top

Wanted to sew this top as soon as it was released! Love the details like the pin tucks and the ruffles. I used the sizing calculator to figure out my size and it was smooth sailing from there! I'm hoping to make another one soon. Love this pattern!

Perfect fitting top

The Selwyn Top is my new favorite Cashmerette pattern. It fit me perfectly on the first make. Normally I have to shorten the waist and lower the bust apex on Cashmerette patterns, but no adjustments were necessary. I have made three of them, one of which has the ruffle. I love them all. There was only one problem in the make. When sewing the armhole it says to fold the facing in 1/4". That was not a deep enough fold and didn't get caught in the top stitching around the armhole. I increased the fold to 3/8" and that took care of it!

Love this pattern!

I learned a lot making this pattern (first time doing pin tucks) and I love it so much. Get so many compliments, can't wait to make another!

Selwyn Top

Just started making it and it's so easy to follow. Watched the srw along And picked up loads of tips even before I started.

Love the top

I just love this pattern. I made one top with the ruffle and working on my second one without the ruffle. The pin tucks make it look so elegant.

Love this pattern

I just finished making this top and can't wait to wear it all of the time. I love pintucks but have never made them and I loved the combination of the fit that the princess seams provide and the over style. Other patterns I see with pintucks tens to be very loose, which is fine, but nice to have this version. I added short sleeves (random sleeve ii knew fit me, and I walked the sleeve opening on the Selwyn with my sleeve and then added an inch of width and gathers when attaching. Worked great for me, I love a slightly puffy sleeve cap.

Excited to make more of this top, it's a winner!

Great staple blouse

I already made 2 (used Vernon sleeves for the 2nd one) and love the pattern! Only downside is the length since it is meant to hit quite short on the hip, I had to add a lot of length (I think I did 10cm last time) since I am tall and long torsoed and like my shirts to be long enough to tuck into pants and skirts. Adding at least 5 cm to every top is pretty normal for me so I don’t have an issue with it, that’s why I started sewing in the first place. All in all I am so happy to have this as a staple in my pattern stash and wardrobe.

Love It!

I love this top and have already made 2 of them with plans for a couple more. The first 2 were sleeveless with the ruffle. I plan to make another one with the Vernon sleeves out of a pink window pane silk in my stash and then one in grey cotton for a beyond basic winter basic shirt. Like I said, I love this pattern!

Selwyn Top is a great pattern

Beautiful pattern, so well done with the pin tucks, perfect for summer as an elegant top or great to hack with a longer length. It almost feels like a steal for the club membership!

Lovely Top

I made this top out of a Rayon fabric. It has a beautiful flow. I lengthened the pattern by 1 1/2 inches, but still feel as if the top is still a bit too short for my taste.

Getting ready to start on my Selwyn

Since I love to sew fru-fru clothing (especially tucks), I am very excited to sew the Selwyn. I have the fabric. Now alI have to do is print and assemble the pattern.

Fun sew

I’m very happy with my finished top. Instructions were easy to follow. I have a large bust and the button placket doesn’t pull apart!

Pintuck Perfection

I love Jenny's new Selwyn top! I've been wanting a summery, princess-seamed top, and here it is! The fit is great, and I love the pintucks! I made mine out of floral cotton lawn, and I love it!

A stylish, gap free blouse

The fit of this top is super, straight out of the packet! I love the delicate pin tuck detail, the optional ruffle is very on trend, and the neck finish is very elegant; I’ve seen it on a number of ready to wear tops.

Selwyn to

I loved the fit and the pleats, but not the flowy sleeves, maybe I used too stiff of fabric but they seemed too bulky.
