Aberdeen

Aberdeen will be the most versatile, comfortable top in your closet. Aberdeen is a batwing-style tunic that fits loosely through the bust and waist, but maintains a feminine silhouette with its deep V-neck, flattering hemline, and fitted ¾-length cuffs.

The top works with your wardrobe throughout the year. Use different fabrics for different seasons – make it in a lightweight cotton jersey knit for spring and summer, or use sweater knits to pair with long-sleeved dresses, tights, and boots. Vary the style by omitting the cuffs and hemming the sleeve openings for a short-sleeved tunic. Or, keep the longer ¾-length sleeves and layer the tunic over a long tank top.

This top is incredibly easy to sew and can be completed in under two hours. In just one weekend of sewing, you can have a collection of new tops ready to go for the office, the gym, or a leisurely weekend, no matter the time of year.
