Complete the look by sewing a handmade top too!
The Everyday Crop PDF Sewing Pattern is a modern knit top designed to feel easy going and elevated. It features a wide boat neckline, a modest cropped length, and thoughtful underarm coverage.
When designing this pattern, my goal was to create a true wardrobe staple that feels intentional, versatile, and easy to wear. The Everyday Crop is the kind of piece you’ll reach for on repeat. It’s easy to style, whether you’re pairing it with rigid jeans, a flowy skirt, or layering it under a jacket. The wide neckline adds extra interest to elevate even the most casual outfit.
This is a BEGINNER FRIENDLY sewing pattern that includes clear instructions with step by step illustrations and a detailed video tutorial. Through this pattern, you'll learn how to sew with knit fabrics, how to sew a lined garment, how to do the burrito method, and more.
This is a SIZE INCLUSIVE sewing pattern:

Fabric recommendation: The Everyday Crop is designed for knit fabrics with structure, stretch, and good recovery (meaning the fabric stretches and returns to its original shape). I recommend using a midweight knit with approximately 50% stretch to ensure comfort while maintaining the shape of the wide boat neckline. Both 2-way and 4-way stretch fabrics work well.
Cotton or rayon blends with spandex or elastane are great options, as are midweight rib knits with strong recovery. These fabrics offer enough body to support the wide neckline. Please avoid lightweight or drapey knits, as they will collapse at the neckline and not hold the shape of the wide boat neck.
Choosing a knit with good recovery is key. Your fabric should stretch comfortably and return to its original shape, helping the Everyday Crop maintain its fit over time.

Suitable Fabrics:
This pattern is designed for light to midweight fabrics such as linen, suiting, or denim. You may also use heavier weight fabrics such as canvas or wool, but if you do, we recommend omitting the fusible interfacing and using a lighter weight fabric for the lining pieces. Please note that we DO NOT recommend using fabrics with a tight weave, such as quilting cotton or cotton poplin. During testing we found that tightly woven fabrics did not offer the necessary give along the bias to fit the body well, especially at the armband.
The pattern calls for lining fabric, which is used for lining the under bust on the front of the top, and optionally the upper bust on the front of the top. Using a separate lining fabric on the upper bust is only necessary if the rest of your garment is being sewn from a light weight fabric, or if your fabric is too sheer for your comfort when worn. If you're using a lightweight fabric for the garment, you can use the same fabric for both the lining and the garment.
