I designed this pattern, because I was having a difficult time finding a comfortable, beautiful, and snug fitting crop top. I tried a few different methods and finally found a top that I can wear anywhere all day long! (Seriously! I wore this top under my tank top while 23 weeks pregnant at a theme park while chasing around my 3 year old and 1 year old! It passes the comfort test!) I hope you enjoy this top as much as I do!

I have included lots of instructional pictures to follow along with the pattern! I offer full pattern support! Please email me with any questions or problems!
