Fibre Mood - NANAKA Top Sewing Pattern

The balloon trend is going strong, and Nanaka fits right in. This summery top, with its balloon hem, gathered neckline, and adjustable straps calls to mind soft clouds, the kind the sun always shines through. Bonus points for the jersey lining, which keeps your new summer favourite comfortably in place and lets you go braless, if you wish.

Fabric suggestions 

For the most beautiful balloon shape, choose a structured fabric such as stonewashed or paper/nylon-touch poplin, cotton satin, linen, nylon, or taffeta. Avoid thin, stretchy fabrics that are overly drapey, as they lack the right structure. If you want a subtle look, go for a supple fabric such as crepe (viscose, polyester, silk) or viscose satin, or chambray.
