Grainline Studios Corin Top

The Corin is a drapey drop shoulder top with a wide round neckline. The pattern includes two sleeve options – a ruffled cap sleeve and a straight 3/4 length sleeve. An optional gathered elastic detail at the front and back waist adds interest and shaping. While we have have sewn up three views of the pattern, the sleeves and elastic can be combined in any configuration to create 6 different options. Techniques involved include sewing a straight seam, setting sleeves, applying bias facing, sewing an elastic casing, and basic hemming.

Difficulty: Beginner

Fabric Recommendations: Light to medium-weight woven fabrics with plenty of drape such as double gauze, charmeuse, crepe de chine, rayon, and rayon blends. Linen is not recommended for the ruffle sleeve version of this top unless it is a linen blend like noil with lots of drape. Extra fabric may be needed to match plaids, stripes, or one-way design prints.

Notions: Thread, 1 yd of ½" (1.27 cm) wide non-roll elastic, safety pin
