I am a pretty experienced sewist, but the instructions for hemming the Hayes top were confusing and lacking. I tried it twice and both times I wound up with a möbius when I attempted to turn the bodice after sewing the lining to the bodice main fabric. After manipulating the fabric so much trying to turn it inside out and outside in and inside out and outside in over and over, my fabric was beginning to fray and it was kind of a mess. I decided to give up. Life is too short. I will find a different top pattern.

A new favorite! The fit is perfect, the instructions clear as always, and the fully lined bodice and sleeves give a polished finished look. I used a medium weight navy linen and it’s so comfortable!

I had made a shirt from a different company a year ago, but never worn it. I thought I might would like it to be worn with a skirt, but look like a dress. I tried the Hayes skirt, and wore them together yesterday to church, and got several comments saying they loved my dress! I love the skirt, and want more! This was my first completed Chalk and Notch pattern, but am working on an Orchid dress!
