Ethel the third

Another repeated pattern, another of last year’s garments – Style Arc Ethel, in printed cotton jacquard leftovers from another project (fabric originally from Darn Cheap Fabrics).  Because this top is pieced you can really make the most of strangely shaped scraps!

I’ve sewn this top in size 12 (the same size as both previous versions). It’s a roomy style, and super comfortable to wear. You know I wouldn’t wear anything that wasn’t comfortable!  The pants I’m wearing it with are the Ethel pants.

From the Style Arc website: This gorgeous boxy shaped top with angled design lines gives your wardrobe a new and fashionable look. The wide facings give this top structure and style. This pattern has been cleverly drafted to cover the top of the arms whilst not losing any of the design elements. FABRIC SUGGESTION: Linen, Crepe, Silk, light wool.

Other information about this pattern can be found in my previous posts here and here.  It’s a great one – highly recommended.
