Modkid Lexi Peplum Top

Thursday, August 29, 2013

More pattern testing sneak peaks coming your way! Patty Young has really been cranking out some amazing Modkid pdf patterns for quick download and sew options perfect for back to school. The Lexi Pattern comes with a dress version and a peplum top option. As you can see I’ve sewn up the top in some super sweet cherry print knit interlock.

The peplum skirt has a bit of gathering and there is a little elastic waistband in there to keep the fitted shape. I finished the hem with a twin stretch needle, but Patty gives you tips for everything from a raw edge to a lettuce edge. She’s great about giving you recommendations for the knits you select as well.

The best details are seen from the back. I love the circular opening! What you can’t see well is the button and tab closure at the top. For such a fun detail, this all came together very quickly. Look for the Lexi pattern from Modkid sometime in the next week or so.
