Description
***This is a digital pattern and not a finished product. The pattern will be available for download following purchase.***
Description
This garment is designed for knits with at least 50% stretch in both directions and a minimum of 5% spandex, Lycra, or elastane. For best results, we recommend light to medium weight knits. If you are using DTY, ITY, DBP or knits with 100% stretch or more, size down one size.
**Always pre-wash your fabric. Prewashing removes chemicals from the manufacturing process and pre-shrinks your fabric.**
The pattern includes sizes 00-44+* and includes the following options:
- Front Necklines: V, Cross-Strap
- Back Necklines: Cross-Strap, Racer Back
- Skirt Lengths: Top or Knee Length
- Also Includes Full Bust Front Pieces and a separate Maternity Skirt Front
Files included:
- Assembly tutorial
- Letter/A4 printing pages (in trim and trimless assembly)
- Projector/A0 files
- Copy shop print files Note: Copy shop is 36″ wide and a continuous print. This maximizes paper usage. Contact your copy shop to confirm they’ll print this file. If you cannot print Copy Shop size, use the Projector/A4 file. We recommend Libelle Sewing for your Canadian Wide Format printing needs.

This is such a great pattern! It’s a quick sew, and is so flattering on all body shapes and sizes! There is also loads of scope for imagination to customize and personalize. I’ve made 4 already and have a bunch more planned! Definitely gets 5 stars from me!

Wow, so much love for this pattern. I already made 2 and love both of them.
I used Cotton Lycra for a dress and bamboo for a tunic cross over top and can’t decide which one is my favorite. I am already thinking about making another one using swim as I think this will also make a great swim top. The possibilities are endless!
One of the reasons I love this design so much is that it is so supportive for me. I wear an E cup and wear this top comfortably without my bra. And did I mention FBA is included in the pattern. LOVE!!!

My favourite top this summer. I have two so far and am working on a third for a family member. My only problem with this pattern is that everyone in my family sees mine and loves it so my sewing list keeps growing. Super cute and flattering and a quick and easy sew.

I’ve just finished making my first Coastal Crossover and it won’t be my last. What a great fit and a quick easy sew. The instructions are super clear with lots of hints and tips.
