Eyelet Elma

The Elma is already a treasured pattern for me! Somehow managing to look fitted,  and feel loose and comfy at the same time! It's ultimately easy and fun to wear. And easy and fun to make.

Hey, do you hear The Sound of Music too? ‘Sew...
a needle pulling thread!’ Elma is romantic and retro too... And yet she’s still totally on trend – with adorable puffed sleeves, a sweetheart neckline at the front and a U-shaped opening at the back. Elma also has darts down the front and back, a button closure at the front and flares towards the hemline. She looks divine in a longer version and – wonder of wonders – can easily be transformed into a charming top too. Find out how to alter the pattern here.

Fabric advice

For the most flattering fit, Elma works best in fabric with a fluid drape, e.g. viscose Tencel or polyester (crepe) in a solid or a print. That doesn’t mean stiffer fabrics like linen, chambray or cotton are out of the question – just make sure they're woven and not knit. Jersey isn't your friend if you want all those pretty details to look nice. And of course, you do!
