Welcome to my blog! I created ‘The Ravel Out’ to capture my makes while I unravel my sewing ideas, one stitch at a time.

Ravel (out)

verb

  1. unravel; untangle.

  2. undo (twisted, knitted, or woven threads).

This year I decided to fully embrace the red theme for Valentine’s Day by making the a simple yet gorgeous side twist top! I hope this bright top brings at least a smile to your face.

Fabric - Ponte de Roma knit in tomato red

Sewing level in my opinion - Easy. As long as you’re comfortable sewing with knits. 

Modification -I shortened the sleeves by 2.25 inches. 

I did not make any other modifications made to this pattern although I think I could have made a medium size graded to large in the hips.

I hope this helps someone who wants to try this pattern. 

Happy sewing,

Sylvia XOXO
