the ZIPPY top is here!

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you're new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news!

the ZIPPY top sewing pattern

Looking for a quick top to sew? The new ZIPPY top is super fast, super cute and only requires like a yard of fabric! You might already have something in your stash you could use! (But you should plan another fabric trip anyways, for good measure!)

The ZIPPY top pattern‘s name has a double meaning. It’s a super fast sew, you can make it in 30 minutes. And it also has a cute exposed zipper on the back. You can choose a short or long zipper. I like to choose a bright color to contrast with my fabric.

This shirt is simple to make, doesn’t require fancy sewing technique and will leave you feeling accomplished!

I’ve already made….over 10! Hah! I will show you more soon, including more details about the crop top variation.

This top is perfect for lightweight materials such as cotton voile, lawn, chiffon, lace and anything else with a nice soft drape. You can also make it in your favorite quilting cotton for a stiffer fit!

    Looks great! Two questions… are there bust darts? and do you need the zipper to get this over your head? Thanks!!

      Hi Whitney! No bust darts, it’s really easy to make and wear! I never unzip the zipper and it fits over my head.

    This is so great! Love the top. Can I also ask you about your cute skinnies? Those are a super flattering fit! Where are they from?

    I love this.
    Think I can tell from the picture but the front and back are all one piece right??
    Need to sew for myself very soon!
