The Delila Knit Top Pattern
This SUPER easy to sew knit top, the Delila Knit Pattern launched a few years ago and is still a staple in my wardrobe. I designed the Delila pattern based on a simple kimono style that tapers in the high hip area. You know me, I can’t stop at a simple top, so I added not one, but NINE sleeve version!
Recognize the blue short sleeve version with the slits I am wearing ~ I have worn it at EVERY event LOL! This version is sewn out of an ITY knit, this fabric doesn’t wrinkle meaning it rolls out of my suitcase like this. Even though the fabric is polyester, the slits in the sleeve allow airflow.
Here is a rundown of all the sleeve variations:
- Basic long sleeve
- Basic 3/4 sleeve
- Basic short sleeve
- Long sleeve with cuffs
- Long sleeves with outside trim and cuffs
- Long sleeve with slits and cuffs
- Three-quarter length sleeve
- Three-quarter length sleeve with outside trim
- Three-quarter length sleeve with slits

Love the Delila pattern, you can make so much variation
I like the long sleeve version and I think a cobalt blue version with a pair of white skinny jeans would be fabulous.
I would love to make a top out of ity… it’s lovely and would be perfect for spring and travel.
The Delilah looks like an easy make. I like how you do the cold shoulder on your tops. It’s one pattern that I have not purchased yet. Happy New Year!

I just happen to have some knit fabric waiting!
Love all the variations you can make with this pattern.
This would be a great top to sew since cutting the fabric sometimes takes more time then sewing. Love simple things with variety.
Love this top especially the embroidery.
Such a beautiful pattern and I’d love to win it!

Love this updated dolman sleeve pattern!
I love the top, I have not sewn clothes in very long time. I watch a lot of your shows so inspiring. With working some times don’t have enough time or I am a little intimidated, because haven’t seen clothes in so long.
LOVE dolman sleeves!
So many options – Sew little time !!
Ooh, Ooh, yes, the Delilah! It’s on my wishlist!
A quick easy sew with variety!
Love the embroidery on this one
I love this Top. Loved it in purple and blue! One of my first live lessons I watched, you were wearing that, and I initially didn’t know what pattern it was. Than, I ended up joining the “Fashion Sewing Club. Now I am a member of “The Wolfpack”! But COVID hit, and I have been working a ton of hours, midnight 12hr shifts. I watch the venison usually when I get home at 8am, but I try to watch the live broadcast on my day off. I come home, set the alarm clock so I can get a nap, and try to get up in Tim to watch live. Hopefully soon things will slow down, and I can get back into my sewing, machine embroidery, and get to know my scan N cut better. Happy Nee year. I love all of your designs!
Thanks! I love all the hacks everyone posts to the patterns!
Love this top
What a cute top with so many options.
I love the look you always create, then all the ‘hacks’…would love to try them!
I would love to make Delilah a pattern in my Angela collection. Thank you for your generous spirit. Being part of FSC doesn’t SEEM LIKE supporting a business. I is a time to meet with friends and learn new skills.
I’ve made several Delilah’s from knits and am now making one out of sweater knit for a daughter. So easy to make, and adapt to whatever your creative juices kick out! Thank you for making sewing so easy.
very nice
Your Delila top looks great. I would love to win the Delila. It looks so easy to sew.
Wow! I think I really need this top so I can look this good–hoping!! A soft knit with a little stretch in it would be my choice! Thanks! Lovely photo!

I wish I could be part of the Wolfpack but my internet is limited. Love the delilah pattern. Would love to make a paper pattern and wear it out one of these days. Enjoy
Great top!

I would make the top, retired from teaching after 32.5 years so I hardly wear dresses.
I have admired the many versions of the Delilah. I think this would be a good starting point for me with my issues.
Love the dolman sleeves, at least I think that’s what they’re called – looks simple enough for even me to sew!
This would be great for traveling which hopefully will happen again soon. Love all the sleeve variation. Thank for the opportunity to win. Happy New Year.
I would love to try and make the Delilah. Not sure how it would look on my shoet waisted self. Thank-you for everything you do. Oh Friday night I was in one of my live groups and they mentioned the Wolf Pack. So I represented and said the Wolf Pack is in the house. It got a lot of LOL and thumbs up. Have a great week.
I would love to win the Delila and make it out of some fabulous fabric!
