It is a simple piece to make which means it’s a great project for beginner

Cara Top
I purchased the pattern and video tutorial as I learn better following a video, often rewinding to double check on some of the sections, particularly collars, which I always seem to struggle with. I enjoyed learning the new skill of French seams and double hems, all of which is building my confidence to try the Overshirt next.

Perfect Summer Top
This pattern has great lines and flows nicely over the body. I made mine in a drapey slub linen and it worked perfectly.
