June 2026's Monthly Make!
So I changed my mind on the pattern choice for this moths make as our heatwave here in the UK meant I needed a light breezy sun top in my wardrobe. So I made the I AM Patterns GAIA Top https://www.newforestsewingstudio.co.uk/product-page/i-am-patterns-gaia-top A perfect pattern and fabric combination for our Atelier Jupe Graphic Faces Viscose fabric https://www.newforestsewingstudio.co.uk/product-page/graphic-faces-textured-viscose.
The instructions are thorough and it is a quick make with only 4 pattern pieces, a back a front, a back neck facing and front neck facing, then the armholes are bias bound.
Of course I have as usual recorded a YouTube Sew-along on our YouTube channel to help anyone with their sewing which you can access via the following link:
Happy Sewing!

The neck facing with bias-bound armholes is the detail that caught my attention. It’s also part of this sleeveless top design from Sewlore, although that one adds shoulder pleats and buttons. For your viscose Gaia, did you use the same fabric for the binding? Keeping those edges neat without making them stiff seems worth taking time over.
