The Svea Top is a pattern kit that invites you to vary.

The all seasons package contains both the pattern for the Svea Top and the add-on for the short sleeves and neckband for two neckline versions.

The original pattern comes with two long sleeve versions as well as a turtleneck and a Peter Pan collar, which you can sew with or without ruffles.

The add-on for the Svea Top, which is also included in this package, expands the kit with two short – sleeve versions and a two neckband patterns fort two neckline versions.

Now you can create and sew a Svea Top for every season.

As a long-sleeved top with a turtleneck, Svea is a great basic. Swap the long sleeves for the balloon sleeves with the wide cuff, your Top gets a special elegance.
If you like your look a little more playful, you can sew a version with a Peter Pan collar instead of the turtleneck. Your Svea will look especially pretty if you choose a woven fabric like a cotton poplin for the collar. I recommend using a patterned fabric as a contrast. The mix of fabrics emphasises the look of a blouse. Nevertheless, Top Svea retains the cosiness of a jersey top.

The Peter Pan collar can be beautifully decorated with ruffles.
Of course, you can also combine the collar with the simple long sleeve.

From size 42, the front piece contains bust darts.

The pattern pieces of the add-on can be combined with the original pattern of the Svea Top. This means, for example, that in addition to the long-sleeved versions, you can sew simple short sleeves to the body of the top and combine them with the ruffled collar, the Peter Pan collar with the puffed sleeves, or the neckband with the long balloon sleeve from the main pattern. Just to name a few ideas.

I wish you happy sewing and combining. Let your creativity run free.
