Not only will it feature in our next sew-along, here at Fashion Sewing Blog, but you guy’s came out in force in last weeks sew-along vote to declare this sewing pattern the hands down winner.
Again, I’d just like to give my 100% gratitude and thanks to everybody, no matter your choice, who came out and took the time to vote.

As you can see, the New Look 6130 top sewing pattern has three design variations for the tops, two skirt designs and pants.
For our sew-along, we will be making one of the tops.
As this sewing pattern is one of the more modern, up to date designs, it should be readily accessible to purchase at most good fashion sewing stores.
I myself, bought this particular sewing pattern online. I’ve supplied you with the link below -

Therefore, the sewing patterns we make have to be easy, quick to create yet stylish and timeless.
The New Look 6130 top sewing pattern is no exception, and the only notions you’re going to need are -
Fusible interfacing

The correct size needle
If you put all the information above together, then you’ll be ready to sew-along with me and create yet another professionally made fashion sewing project.

I can hardly wait! This will be my first sew along. Now just to decide which fabric. You mentioned that the fabric should be suited to a person’s body type. I am quite thick in the middle so I won’t be going for anything shiny but still not quite sure what to look for. Let the adventure begin!
Hi Kim
Try going for a medium, floaty type of fabric, for example wools, wool blends, silks etc.
Let me know what you do end up choosing
Thanks
Colleen
Hi, I love the design above. I would like to eventually join in a sew-along, but I am very new to pattern sewing and mediocre sewing machine user. I will definitely like to come back to it in the future and try pattern c.
Hi Jessica

All the very best in all of your fashion sewing adventures

Great pattern,
I would not have seen this if not for you sharing it, thanks!
I want to join this challenge so bad, but I have tons of stuff to “finish”, including a previous challenge that I started with you ( so ashamed).
However, if I can steal time and squeeze it in, I would like to do view C or B.
Happy Sewing!!
Thanks Alethia.
Great to hear your busy fashion sewing.
Join in when you can – the more the merrier.
I’ll be completing view C in the sew-along. A beautiful pattern.
Regards
Colleen
