Jalie Sewing Patterns- Featuring Audrey

Jalie Sewing Patterns- Audrey Workout Top (4128)

Continuing with the release of Jalie Sewing Patterns' newest collection of PDF sewing patterns-  today is the release of the Audrey Workout Top (4128)! This pattern features a cropped racerback tank with integrated bra and optional pocket for removable bra cups. Jalie Sewing Patterns- Audrey Workout Top (4128) includes sizes "F" (20 1/2" bust) all the way through to size "GG" (51 1/8" bust). I love that all Jalie Sewing Patterns include a whole size range with the purchase of a single pattern- perfect for growing children and sewing for multiple models.

Based on the pattern recommendation of selecting the size by full bust, I sewed up a size "S" for Missy. I did not sew up the optional pocket for removable bra cups. I sewed up the Audrey Workout Top (4128) using Lululemon Dark Charcoal Athletic Knit from KnitFabric.com for the back and a cut up too-small T-shirt from Missy's wardrobe for the main. This pattern uses the "burrito method" of enclosing seams- something I typically dislike, but really appreciated in this pattern because it made for such a clean interior. The construction of the lining/shelf bra came together and fit so well! I love when the inside of a garment is just as pretty and clean as the outside! 

Some things to note: a) The shoulder seams of the lining and main do NOT match up and this is done on purpose to reduce bulk. I say this because I got a little confused when I cut and sewed.) b) I used a very thin athletic knit for the lining. This was perfect for not creating visible lines underneath the main fabric. However, if you are wanting a little more support, you may want to use a mesh or netting.

And, if you give a Sewing Mama a top pattern, such as the Jalie Sewing Patterns- Audrey Workout Top (4128), she's going to want to whip up some coordinating bottoms! Here, I paired the Jalie Sewing Patterns- Audrey Workout Top (4128) with one of our favorite Jalie Sewing Patterns, the Clara High Waisted Leggings (3887) in crop length- perfectly functional and appropriate for my active girl. ;)
