So many sleeveless tops and dresses. Love the styles but I cannot wear sleeveless any longer, don't have the arms for it. 🙁
We've got some sleeved patterns in the works too! Stay tuned for a tunic pattern coming soon 🙂
Agree, not everyone has beautiful arms.
Wow. Just wow. If women stopped bodyshaming themselves imagine how much easier their lives would be. Go sleeveless, be cool and comfortable, let the haters hate that's their problem not yours
That pattern, those shoes… it's all love from this end!
We hear you on those FABULOUS shoes Anna!
This looks like a great basic that you can never have too many of!
Would love this top with capped sleeves. Even tiny sleeves just look that bit better on oldish arms!
Hi Megan, then stay tuned for some of our upcoming patterns 🙂
Thanks Colette. Really looking forward to some sleeved but stylish summer top patterns (NOT tunics, we have lots of those). For example, this Kate top would be great with some simple short sleeves. It's great to have some short but stylish tops for summer. Thanks for the great patterns.
Love the pattern and contest. Can a person enter more than one finished product or more than one? Also how extreme can the variations to the pattern be? Thank you in advance for your answer
Hi Elaine,
Only one entry per person. Make what your heart desires.
Great pattern and tempted to enter the competition, but tell me where did the model get those fantastic sandals?
Ah yes…THOSE sandals! They're from Alpha60
I, too, have aged arms but hot weather needs the ventilation of sleeveless: take a stand ladies, and be comfortable.
Lovely pattern, good to know i'm not the only one looking for patterns that suit linen. I'd also love to see a short sleeved pattern, almost like a linen tshirt. Be great to have one with curves in the torso to give me some shape!
Great blogs, too thank you.
