Pattern and Instructions: The Souvenir Top
I couldn’t resist spoiling you with this extra pattern, perfect for pairing with the Summer Vacation Pants to create a comfortable and stylish set.
The Souvenir Top is a simple short sleeve tie-front top with a full bodice lining, but advanced Charm School students can show off their skills by making the top sleeveless and/or reversible!
You'll find the tiled file (for printing at home on A4 or letter size sheets and taping together) and the A0 file (for printing at a copy shop like ThePlottedPattern.com). Please note that we have two size blocks, so make sure to download the correct files for the size you're making. If you have any questions about which size to sew, don't forget to read our blog post with all the details!
Don't forget to share your makes with the hashtags #souvenirtop and #charmpatterns. I can't wait to see what you make!
xoxo,
Gertie

Do I have to sew it with a liner?
Does anyone else have a problem with sewing the side seams for the reversible top? I'm reading the instructions but I still don't understand which step it is to sew them?
@gertie Also wondering if there is going to be a video tutorial for this.
Oh, Gosh, I remember making a topy like this for myself in high school (class of 76) with an a-line skirt with princess seams. Oh, how this has brought back memories. So now, at 65, I'll be making it again!
We are most definitely spoiled rotten by you Gertie! So tickled pink & delighted!! Thank You!!
Getting this exactly one month from my vacation! Plenty of time to make it!😎
Ugh. I'm so white and can't tan! Idk about showing belly. Idc about my little chub! BUT THAT WHITE SKIN WILL BLIND YALL!!

Suzie with this pink hair bow and that awesome ruby Star rayon 😍😍😍
Classic! It's beautiful, thanks Gertie!
This would look so cute over a pair of Lorettas, too!!!! So exciting!
I need to make this as a sun cover up for over dresses
I could not love more this ensemble.....I love large flowy pants and this kind of tied top! This year my vacations will be on a cruise in the Mediterranean Greek Islands....it will be in my wardrobe for sure!
Yes!!!! This is going to be my weekend project. (Hopefully 🤣)
I love it! This top seems like it would be such a fun compliment to a pair of Marilyn Jeans or a sarong skirt.
Love it and so soon, thank you! 🙏 💖👏

Yay! I made this top from an original 1940s pattern and it was not quite full bust friendly :) thank you for saving me the work of FBAs!
How lovely! It’s a beautiful design - and with a full lining, too! You really do spoil us, and I’m so grateful :) Thank you, Gertie and Charm Team! What a perfect Summer ensemble - I’ll be living my best palazzo life in these all Summer.
OOOh girl I thought we were going to get this for the 15th. Bonus pattern for us! We're so lucky.
Super cute! I’m making one immediately as a topper over sun dresses.
