Our new Avoca Top

Meet our latest pattern, the Avoca Top. Minimalist in design and super simple to sew, the Avoca Top is an easy, casual wardrobe piece that’s all about relaxation and comfort.

Avoca has a loose silhouette and finishes at hip-length. Suitable for knits, it can be worn as a t-shirt, a light over-layer or under a jacket when cooler temperatures hit. Design features include grown on sleeves and a straight and loose silhouette with twin needle stitching at the neck and hemline.

The boat neckline is finished in the same way as our Mandy Boat Tee pattern, with a simple turn back and a dart at the shoulder seam for a lovely clean finish.  That’s right, no fiddly neckline binding means that this pattern is just two pieces – front and back!

Below you’ll see Colette and I rather hilariously attempting to simulate a casual outdoor stroll in a completely indoor environment, trying to convey that feeling of how easy and practical the Avoca Top is for low key activities when you want comfort without sacrificing style.

And it’s also very much worth mentioning that, as much as we love it for outdoors, it’s a great work-from-home option too.

Suitable fabrics for the Avoca Top include good quality stretch cotton French terry knits, lightweight ponti knit, viscose/elastane knit, cotton/elastane knit and stretch velvet knit. And as a BONUS launch offer for the Avoca Pattern, we’re taking 20% off the full price of our French Tag & French Terry loopback fleece knits, as well as our lighter weight Nametag viscose/elastane jerseys. This offer is valid for one week only and ends midnight (AEST) Monday 29th July.

Wondering what to pair the Avoca Top with? We’ve got you covered! The Avoca Top perfectly complements our Avalon Pants, so much so we’ve decided to give this pattern pairing its very own hashtag – the #TessutiTravelSet.

Whether you’re travelling to far away places, catching up with friends or heading to the local park/cafe/supermarket, Avoca & Avalon offer absolute comfort whilst still delivering the ease, practicality and effortless co-ordination of a casual lounge set.

The Avoca Top and Avalon Pants patterns are sold separately or you can purchase the combined Avoca/Avalon Tessuti Travel Set in a hardcopy or PDF bundle pack.

The Avoca Top comes in (Australian) sizes 6-22 and is now available in both hardcopy and PDF copy shop/print-at-home versions. UK/EU customers can purchase patterns or pack from our Tessuti Pattern UK website.
