The Edie Top is a beautifully simple top and dress pattern with statement balloon sleeves that give it plenty of character. The full sleeves are gathered at the cuff with a tie threaded through a buttonhole, creating a soft, sculptural finish. Alternatively, you can omit the buttonhole and use elastic at the cuff instead. With its clean lines and minimal detailing, Edie is a lovely pattern for showing off an interesting fabric. Choose something crisp and structured for more dramatic sleeves, or a softer fabric for a relaxed, fluid look. Suggested Fabrics: Lightweight woven fabrics including linen and linen blends, cotton poplin, hemp and hemp blends, cotton chambray, Indian handwoven and block-printed cottons, Tencel and Tencel blends. More structured fabrics will give the sleeves a more sculptural shape. You will also need: Matching thread Fabric Requirements: Requirements are suitable for fabrics with or without nap.
