Eucalypt Top // Sewing For Women
Hi friends!!
I'm back today with another make from Megan Nielsen. The Eucalypt pattern recently underwent some updates and I was so excited to have the chance to make my first one ever, but using the new pattern!
The pattern includes a tank or dress option and is intended for woven fabrics. True to my style, I decided to switch things up a bit! I had this 100% cotton Island Leaf Print Jersey from Cali Fabrics sitting in my stash for quite a while, and when this pattern popped into my radar, I knew that it would be perfect as a tank! And even better, the timing worked out that it was right before a beach vacation. Even more perfect!
To make this pattern in knit, I made absolutely no changes since my fabric has no spandex content and it is quite a stable knit.
To finish off the neck and armholes, I just made a typical knit band using self fabric. This worked out really well! The only thing I would do differently is to cinch things in just a leeettle tighter were I to do it over, because the openings are slightly loose. If I were to use a stretchier knit, I would size down one size for sure.
It was a really quick sew in knit, and it wouldn't be much more time consuming in a woven. I sewed a size 8, and shortened the length 1 inch.
I can't wait to make this pattern again in a woven fabric as well! I think a tank dress will be really fun for a casual summer piece!
