At very long last, the Trifecta Top is now available! Named thusly because of the three neckline heights, three sleeve lengths, and three optional extras. From the official description:
The Trifecta Top is a versatile wardrobe builder with loads of customisation options! There are three necklines (high scoop, low scoop, and scooped V-neck), three sleeve lengths with hem or band finishes (cap with hem or band, elbow length hem or band, long sleeve hem or band), and two shirt lengths (a hit-at-the-hip hem length and a marginally longer waistband length). Fitted through the bust, there is gentle side seam shaping through the high waist before skimming through the hips. Scrap hoarders will be delighted that there are also options for a tiny pocket, contrasting shoulder insets, and a centred triangle inset to showcase those small scraps you can’t bear to part with. With easy to sew raglan sleeves this top is a perfect introduction to sewing for yourself and testing the sewing-with-knits waters; a super fast sew and straightforward to fit. More experienced sewers will enjoy the myriad customisation options and more challenging insets and V-neck. Colour-block the sleeves and body for a sporty baseball style, utilise the inset neckline triangle for a retro sweatshirt look, or throw something fancy into the shoulder insets for dress up occasions! There are eight sizes included in the pattern, ranging from a 30” to 44” high bust, and a 24” to 38” high waist.Here is but a few of the ones I've made through the testing process...

One of these things is not like the other, amirite? Remember that time on Facebook I said using my new tripod and remote to take pictures inside would be a game-changer? Unless that game is called Grainy Pics, it hasn't changed at all. Lucky for me my friend Clare was free to take some pictures in the garden this morning.
Speaking of pics, how about them testers?! As per usual, best in the world. Additional mega-props to Susan from Crafterhours for her nifty digitisation and general awesomeness.
So without further ado, you can get The Trifecta Top here! From now until Sunday at midnight you can save 20% on two or more patterns using TRIFECTA at checkout. I've just changed the listing for the Reversible Zippy Hoodie to include all sizes from 18m to 8y as well.
Oooh, love mega-props. So good to see it shared! And... hoooow did you make the exact. same. face. 5 times?! Most impressive.
ReplyDeleteIt's my patented not-quite-bitchy-resting-face. Otherwise known as line mouth.
DeleteYou slay me. Every time I try a not-quite-bitchy-resting-face it looks like constipation. Also, I can't wait to sew up a top!
DeleteHave you tried tilting your head at a slight angle, Jill? It seems to turn line face into a slightly more benign version :) Also, the diamond top is very, very close to constipated face.
Deleteline mouth! I need to try it because I always end up with 'i'm going to slit your throat' when I SWEAR i am smiling!!
DeleteHaha, what Susan said! Your game face is most impressive! Congrats on the release! :D
ReplyDeletewoo-hoo!!!!
ReplyDeleteYaaaaaaay! Congrats! So excited for this one. The contrast shoulder is my favorite!
ReplyDeletei love seeing that each size of the shirt looks good on it's tester. That's such a huge deal with women's patterns and you nailed it! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Mae! It's a huge deal for me too!
DeleteLove this top and congrats on its release!! It's definitely a winner :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the release. It does kind of look like you used the same photo and photoshopped 5 different tops on :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm kinda embarrassed by my interchangeable face. Oh well, if it ain't broke? Haha :)
DeleteArgh! Why must you tempt me to spend more money? This home sewing thing was supposed to save money, I thought ;o) Love it! Simple top, so many possibilities. PS /made my 4th Lady Skater this week, time to make some summer versions soon i think.
ReplyDeleteI have to second Susan's question. How? That is a talent, pulling that face every time! But the shirts! Oh the shirts! You make me want to sew with all the knits...you made how many shirts? Wow!! Love them all.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love a raglan sleeve and elbow length!! Will definitely have to give this one a shot!!
