Description
This sewing year is ending with that amazing feeling of making something great and also easy! The New Nyoka crossover top and dress for knit fabrics from Sinclair patterns is most probably my last sewing project of the year. The Nyoka is the type of project that looks complex but is actually deceptively EASY TO SEW.  I am sharing how to sew this interesting bodice, step by step, including the front extensions, stabilizing the shoulders and waist and how to sew an awesome V neckline binding technique that is top notch.  I’ve made a top with rib knit and created chevrons on the front and back just for fun.  I also made a dress with a gorgeous flowery athletic knit.  Lots of sewing to see!    The Buy one Get one FREE sale from Sinclair patterns is happening through the 1st of January with the code BOGO1 and its one offer per client.  The NEW NYOKA crossover top and dress is included in this sale! After the sale is over, it will be 20% off through the 5th of January.   This is my general affiliate link: http://sinclairpatterns.com?ref=38  Link for the Nyoka: https://sinclairpatterns.com/collections/all-patterns/products/nyoka-crossover-dress-and-top-for-knit-fabrics-pdf?ref=38  Video from this podcast episode: https://youtu.be/e-S1M91dd5Q
