The Cora Top is a breezy, easy-to-wear staple that you won’t be able to sew just one of. Simple to make but with lots of fun details, it’s a quick, addictive sew with tonnes of satisfaction. Easily dressed up or down, Cora pairs beautifully with your smartest tailored trousers for work, as well as your comfiest jeans for a weekend at home. It can be worn tucked in or loose to suit your style.

The Cora Top features a V-shaped neckline finished at the front with a unique (and quite magical!) pleat detail. The back also sports a pleat, which cleverly creates the appearance of a yoke, and keeps the shoulders that little more fitted. The grown-on sleeves are comfy and simple to sew, whilst the high-low hem is kept fun and interesting with shallow angled side slits. As well as the top version, Cora also comes with the option to be lengthened into a kaftan-style dress.

There are no darts or gathers required for the Cora Top, which as well as making for a speedy project also means this pattern is ripe for bold, large-scale prints. With just four pattern pieces it’s a fantastic evening project, and a great starting point pattern for anyone new to sewing with lightweight, drapey fabrics.

What is a PDF pattern?

A PDF pattern is a downloadable pattern that you print yourself at home on A4 or US letter paper.

Choose to add on A0 printing and we will print the pattern on our A0 printers and post it to you so all you need to access digitally is the instruction booklet.

If you're using the A4 or US letter options, simply download, print at home, tape together and let the sewing begin! When you print the pattern, print at 100% (you might have to uncheck the scale box). Print page 1 first, the square should measure 10cm x 10cm.

Is this sewing pattern layered?

Yes! This pattern is layered so you can print off just the size(s) that you need. Find out more about layering here.

Like all our patterns, the sizes are nested to make it easier to grade between the sizes, depending on your measurements.
