Salvington Top

The Salvington Top is the perfect year round go-to with cap sleeves and a back opening detail with Rouleau button loop it’s a classic perennial for your wardrobe.

Make up in a light cotton lawn or double gauze for warmer months or use linens or wool mixes for the cooler ones. Pop a cardi over when the temperature really drops.

It’s a perfect showcase for a gorgeous print or a broderie in a statement colourway.

If you prefer a longer sleeve, they are easy to extend to a short sleeve, in some of the example images I’ve extended the sleeves by 3cm to demonstrate.

If you want to get creative why not add some contrast top stitching, a breast pocket or a frill to the hem.

This pattern is also available as a kit, including fabric, thread and machine needle on our kits page.

About Our Patterns

Our patterns are printed on high quality paper rather than tissue paper, making them much more re-usable and less likely to tear. Patterns are packaged in a sturdy re-usable string and washer envelope and come with a clearly written and illustrated instruction booklet, along with a QR code that will take you directly to the corresponding YouTube video tutorial.

Our tutorial videos all features chapter marks, allowing you to jump directly to specific construction steps without needing to search through the video manually. They also contain useful hints and tips from the Sussex Seamstress herself. Tutorials are produced with the maker in mind, and are to-the-point and informative.
