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:

Another easy pattern to sew with a neckline twist! I designed the Bella Knit Top sewing pattern to be sewn with knits for comfort and coordinate with A Touch of Couture Lace Embroidery Collection, Regardless if you add embroidery, this knit top is trendy and easy to sew! slightly fitted in the bust area and looser in the waist and hip area with a flattering curved hemline. Different than my other knit top patterns, this one has a v-neckline with facing instead of a ribbed collar band.
Although there are two sleeve options, I named the pattern after the bell-like sleeve which is fitted in the bicep area and then bells out in the wrist area, hemmed with an elastic casing.
I have sewn this version with rayon jersey knit for the body and mesh for the sleeve. The short sleeve version offers a loose, flowing sleeve and a chiffon fabric is a great choice. I am just finishing a few more Bella Knit Tops and will share photos next week with a few tutorials on sewing and embroidering this trendy top.
The Bella Knit Top sewing pattern is available in instant digital download format or the paper version with spiral notebook mailed to your home.
NOTE: The Bella Knit Top PDF version is included FREE with the The Touch of Couture Embroidery Collection.

The design for the Lacy Knit Top was a result of our everlasting Covid lockdown! Whether lounging at home, working in the studio, or working out in our home gym ~ this top hit the mark. Semi-fitted in the bust area, looser thru the hips, and a little longer in the center front and back. My favorite versions of this top are sewn with a rayon knit and fashionable lace and the 2nd sewn with athleisure sportswear and mesh fabric. (You might notice that I am wearing the Shirley Wrap as a dress)

Below is one of my episode’s of It’s Sew Easy which includes tips for sewing lace fabric and a tutorial on starting with the Ruched-T and designing your own Lacy style top!
I designed this pattern as one of the wrap style dresses and tops for season 19 of It’s Sew Easy tv. The Shirley wrap can be sewn as a top or a dress. Because the style must pullover the head, this top must be sewn with a knit.
There are many versions in this pattern including sleeveless, short sleeve, and long sleeve. Then you have the option of sewing a top or dress.
