Tie Front Wrap Top — PDF Sewing Pattern, XS to 3X
A crossover wrap top with wide elbow-length sleeves and a side tie. Woven fabric, no stretch. Eight sizes, bust 32" to 50".
Why it looks harder than it is There is no sleeve to set in. The sleeve is cut in one piece with the body, so the shoulder and the underarm are a single continuous seam that you sew flat. Setting a sleeve into an armhole is the step that stops most people from finishing a top, and this pattern does not contain it. Apart from that seam you have straight side seams, narrow turned hems, and two fabric tubes for the ties. No zip, no buttons, no buttonholes, no closure of any kind.
What makes this different Most wrap patterns leave you guessing how much the crossover will actually cover. This file includes a separate front-facing diagram showing exactly where the panels sit at three reference bust sizes — 34", 38" and 42" — so you can see the coverage before you cut into your fabric.
