A relaxed pale grey cotton top with a clean centre seam, a neat neckband and deep cuffed sleeves. It is minimal and modern ✨
Two pattern pieces, each cut as a pair: a front joined by the topstitched centre seam of the photos, and a back made the same way. The sleeves are cut on with the body and finished with a band turned up into a deep 5 cm cuff. A bias neckband with two rows of topstitching finishes the round neck, and the sides open in two small slits at the hem.

✔️ Pattern pieces to print at home on A4 or US Letter, layered by size
✔️ Pattern pieces on one A0 sheet for a copy shop, layered by size
✔️ Size chart, finished measurements, fabric amounts, and the neckband and cuff lengths for every size
✔️ The clean centre seam: one topstitched line outside, no raw edge inside
✔️ A neck that goes over the head: a hidden 10 cm opening at the back with a button and loop
✔️ A cut-on sleeve done right: taped shoulders, a reinforced underarm, and a sleeve opening 8 to 9 cm bigger than the arm in every size
✔️ Troubleshooting and variations
Cotton, linen or crinkle cotton, 55" (140 cm) wide: 1⅞ to 2 yd depending on size
A little 1 cm stay tape for the shoulders
Polyester thread, one shade darker than the fabric for the topstitching
Pale warm grey, as in the photos: it shows the centre seam and the topstitching without shouting, goes with everything, and crinkle cotton in this shade looks expensive.
Skill level: confident beginner
