The Wildvine Top pushed my comfort levels in wonderful ways. I had never sewn a corset-style piece before, and as a self-taught, time-conscious māmā of 2 under 2, I was very nervous about how intricate it looked. To my surprise, it was very straightforward and super easy to follow. I chose a linen-look material, which involved a few extra steps of ironing on interfacing, but other than that, it did not take too much time to whip up. If I can do it, so can you! After seeing the hem version layered and styled in so many different ways, I definitely plan on making a few in that style to go with multiple of my other fun patterned dresses :D. While I tend to dress more 20s-50s in my style, I do love cosplay, and adding a fun bold print will bring this to my everyday wear rotation.

Pink flowery reversible cape
Such a joy to sew and another joy to wrap it up for a very happy 5 year old. I followed the base directions exactly using the 5-7 size classic with pixie hood. The fabric I used was pink twill and a soft quilting cotton in pink toned floral. The thing I loved most about this pattern was how easy it was to make reversible. I did make a simple hack adding patch pockets on the lining/floral side. I will definitely be making this again.
The Wildvine Top was such a fun sew! I absolutely love the unique laced side details—they make the design really stand out. It's a versatile pattern that's perfect for layering in cooler weather or wearing on its own when it's warm. It offers just the right amount of challenge to keep things interesting, making it a really rewarding project to sew. Definitely one I'd recommend if you're looking to build your skills while creating a beautiful, wearable garment.

Timeless and versatile
Wearing the Wildvine Corset Top made me feel like I had stepped back in time whilst simultaneously feeling timeless. The Wildvine corset top can be styled in a classic way as well as contemporary. This autumn I'll be attending my sisters Celtic themed wedding and I pictured the Wildvine top in a linnen with a gingham skirt. The pattern is written with step by step instructions clarified by photographs and video instructions for the tricky bits. There are many tips and tricks in the pattern to help you achieve a professional looking finish.
I made a straight size I without grading to a J around the hips. The ties make the size around the waist adjustable so I chose to base the size on my upper and full bust measurements. The top comes with instructions to make it fully lined creating a beautiful finish on the inside as well.
