The Whitcomb Top is a beginner-friendly make that can be sewn in either woven or knit fabric, as well as a combination of the two. Each fabric version has two sleeve options - a 3/4 length sleeve and a short sleeve. It also has two length options - a cropped hem that sits at the waist, gathering into either elastic or a waistband, and a loose hem that finishes at the hip. All versions have a little bit of gathering at the front of the neck.

The top can be worn as a t-shirt, sweatshirt or blouse. Dressed up or down, whichever way you want! The cropped versions are perfect with high-waisted trousers and the sleeves can be worn in a variety of different ways.
