I love the silk and lace camis I’m seeing everywhere, but I wanted something with a bit more coverage than the spaghetti strap sleeves. This silk top sewing pattern with a lace edged neckline is quick and easy, and it’s a great layering piece for fall!
This silk top sewing pattern is perfect for fall!
Lace and silk cami’s are such a fun layer under cardigans and sweaters during the fall, and I love the look of them, but they don’t give me enough coverage. So I decided to make a silk top sewing pattern with short sleeves and add a lace trimmed neckline.
It’s the same feel with a little more coverage. This was a simple sewing project and I love how it turned out.
