Buy the Hadley Top sewing pattern from Grainline Studio. The Hadley is drapey, fluid, and sophisticated. It’s the semi-formal top that you need for work or to throw on over your jeans for a night out. View A has a jewel neck, a pleat at the back neckline, and bracelet length sleeves. View B is sleeveless and features a soft v-neck. Both are subtly geometric as they have centre seams in the front and back as well as a wide hem.
