Sometimes the simplest of patterns are the little gems in my wardrobe that shine the brightest. This little knit top is Burda 6567 by Simplicity. I made the sleeveless version with what I would call a “flat peplum”. It’s not bulky on the hip and still adds some detail to an otherwise simple top.
I had barely a meter of this medium to heavy weight gingham knit and it was plenty to make this top. A great stash or scrap buster! I love that it calls for a knit as well….so comfortable.
I omitted the facings and opted instead to turn and hem all edges with my coverstitch.
It has a back zipper, which you might be able to omit, if your fabric had enough stretch in it. I put an invisible zip in mine. I probably should have attempted to do a better job at pattern matching…oh well.
There’s not too much to say about this one….just a cute and practical addition to my closet. I think I could use a few more of these!
Very nice!
Thank you Faye!
I said cute peplum but ì already have the Vogue peplum. Then you said flat peplum and said got to have it. Thanks for the inspiration. Janie
Glad to be of help Janie!! 🙂
I love this flat peplum, & your choice of fabric. This looks like a great staple, in all sleeve lengths.
I agree Karey, I think this is one of those overlooked patterns that could be a real winner in my everyday wardrobe. Thanks for reading!!
Oh la la!!! This is a perfect classy top for this lovely weather. You look fabulous! 🙂
Cute! Cute! Cute!
Thanks Irene!!
Super duper cute! You’ve styled it perfectly, too. Heading straight to the fabric store from work…not that I’m reading sewing blogs at work…never!
Lol! Of course not! thanks Becky!
This top is simply perfect – love the “flat peplum” as you describe it and it’s given me the inspiration to adjust the pattern I’m now working on (View Ridge by Straight Stitch Designs) which has a peplum (a style feature I’m always a sucker for) but I don’t want much gathering at all so I’ll just make sure there is barely any gathering. Yours is also just the right length both in the bodice and peplum and fit which I’m still fiddling with 🙂 I’ve been toying with the idea of making a blend of knit and woven…See how you’ve inspired me?!
I really love your top!! And your pants too.. is it another of your creations? Because I want to know what pattern did you use. Thanks and nice job!!
Thanks Evelyn! I didn’t make the denim pants…I actually thrifted them. The tag says, “Hetitage” I think that they were originally from Talbots. You could use V1464 for a similar look though!
Great workmanship and very nice for this time year,.
Gingham always looks clean and fresh
Thanks again
