Күн бұрын

If you're like me you may have seen this Ganni style top flooding your feed for the past few months. So I thought I'd give it a go of recreating it!
In this tutorial I take you through the self drafting process (no pattern required) to bring your own custom top to life with the option to adjust details to suit your preferences at each step.
Make what you can and ethically source the rest!
The Essentials Club tutorial channel is all about sharing the steps to become more resourceful and creative with crafting your own minimal, conscious wardrobe.
Suggested Fabric Amount Required:
Size Extra Small = 1.8m (short sleeve) or 2.1m (long sleeve)
Size Small = 1.9m (short sleeve) or 2.2m (long sleeve)
Size Medium = 2m (short sleeve) or 2.3m (long sleeve)
Size Large = 2.1m (short sleeve) or 2.4m (long sleeve)
Size Extra Large = 2.2m (short sleeve) or 2.5m (long sleeve)
(add or take 0.1 metres for anything larger or smaller than these sizes)
NOTE: These measurements are based on buying 'off the roll' which is approx 1.4m wide.

i love this so much!!! thank you! I have a question, if i wanted the front a little more covered so that my chest doesnt show, how would i do that?

@Im_nabi_ 22 күн бұрын

¿Usas el patrón delantero como trasero también?

I wouldn’t attach the sleeve like that. It’s much easier to attach the sleeve flat and the close the side seam and the arm seam all in one go.

@Soffffie 21 күн бұрын

I had the same thought when watching it. It’s also a cleaner finish when sewing the sleeve flat +the side seams in one go.

I've personally preferred this method shown recently (and find it easy for beginners to be able to adjust if need be too) but maybe I need to try the suggested way again as it's been a few years :) I love that with self drafting it's easy to change anything at each step to better suit our preferences! So you could definitely switch to your method instead for this part.
