*Please note, this is a PDF pattern suitable to be printed at home or printshop and not a physical pattern*
Video tutorial available here: https://youtu.be/gIi0auMsD2E
This pattern has not yet been developed with layers, but we're working on it!
The bralet crop top features a halter neck, and tie back fastening, and is made entirely of woven fabric. It has entirely enclosed seams, and therefore doesn't require the use of an overlocker/serger!
The cups of the bralet are made to fit bra size, meaning you can make a top that fits well, for a number of different sizes.

Please note, some files will download as .zip files. You will need to unzip the files before using. On an apple computer you can double click the zipped file, and this will open a new folder that contains the patterns.
On a windows computer you will need to right click on the .zip folder, and click "extract all".
This is a PDF file, and therefore will need to be opened in a programme that accepts pdf format. Adobe reader works well and can be downloaded online completely free for windows/mac! "Preview" also works well on Apple Mac computers.
You only need to print the files that are relevant to you.
For example, if you are a UK customer and print on an A4 sized printer, you will want to download both A4 files, but can ignore the US Letter sized files.
If you are a UK customer and want to print your pattern file at a printshop in large format, download the A0 printshop file, to print at a printshop, and then download the A4 pattern and instruction file for your instructions.

Fabric and notions:
Fabric and notions:
This pattern has been designed for light-medium weight woven fabric with no stretch.
Fabrics that works well are viscose, light-mid weight cotton, poly cotton, crepe etc. This fabric is not suitable for sheer, extremely lightweight fabrics as this fabric can tear easily if pressure is applied on the ties.
You will need:
- Main fabric
- Lining fabric (could also use main fabric)
For this pattern you will need upto 64cm/0.7 yards of 150cm/59'' width fabric (based on the largest size) or upto 80cm/0.9 yards of 114cm/45'' fabric.
You will also need upto 57cm/0.65 yards of 150cm/59" width lining fabric, (based on the largest size) or upto 74cm/0.85 yards of 114cm/45" lining fabric.
You could also use your main fabric as your lining, just add the amount of lining needed to the amount of self fabric needed. (I personally always use my main fabric as my lining, but depending on cost you can always choose a cheaper lining if you don't want it to be reversible!)
This pattern does work in a reversible style too, so why not choose another fabric you like instead for your lining and make it reversible!
