High Hopes Dolman

High Hopes Dolman by Ellie and Mac

When I decided to try the High Hopes Dolman from Ellie and Mac, I didn’t think of it as a quick sew, because it’s looks fancy. I usually think of quick sews as a very simple look. Once I got cutting through I realized this might be the quickest top I’ve made!

It’s a dolman top with long cuffs, so there’s actually no sleeves! There’s just the body piece, cuffs, neckband and waistband. All bands, no hemming! Which means I made this top 100% on my serger. No 2nd machine to thread!

I used double brushed poly from a Sincerely Rylee scrap pack so this make was practically free. It doesn’t get better than cheap and easy!

I’ve been making a lot of Ellie and Mac patterns lately. The 2XL fits me so well, I only adjust a tiny bit for height. The overlapping pages give me confidence that I assembled them correctly and leaves me room to do that tiny height adjustment! They’re almost always having a sale. Patterns release at a discount, on top of the sale price! So they’re usually $3.85 on the day I blog them. On Wednesdays, the patterns rotate through being on sale for $1 (Wacky Wednesday).
Here are some of my other blog posts about Ellie and Mac Patterns.
