Making the Izzy Top

Making the Izzy Top

The izzy top is a free pattern you have to try out for girls.

Izzy Top Details

Pattern Name and Designer: Izzy Top from Climbing the Willow

Price: Free

Pattern Options: Top with button tab closure and lined bodice.

Size Range: 18 mo. to 12

Size I Made: 18 months and 3

What I Like: Its a super cute top and its a fast sew. My girls have loved theirs.

What I Don’t Like: Its a little big and bulky where the skirt attaches, but overall good.

Modifications: I enclosed the skirt seam in the bodice for a cleaner look and lengthened the 3. I also added trim.

Would I Sew it Again: Yes, but I haven’t yet. Its a fun top, but I prefer the Maggie Mae from Shwin Designs. However, the Izzy is much faster.

    I did the same as you, i.e. encased the skirt part between the two layers of the top for a neater finish I used the pattern for a top and a pyjama top. You can see the results here.

      There’s another larger version available now on Craftsy that goes up to a size 12 I believe.

    After searching high an low for some instructions for this top, I found some! They’re in Spanish but if you don’t read Spanish you can use a translation website or just figure it out from the pictures. http://www.pequenafashionista.com/2016/03/tutorial-top-de-corte-imperio.html?m=1&epik=dj0yJnU9SUZaaEdfWnpGbGozVmFBcUl5R3pzQThCM1B0TTM5VVombj00djV0Uzlwb0lfeG1VTnRjU3pVUmR3Jm09MyZ0PUFBQUFBRnp5ekVz
