From Octavia Patterns:
Pomegranate is a really simple and fast to make top. There are no darts, no closures, and no facing pieces, and it looks beautiful on all body shapes!
A self faced cowl neck gives Pomegranate its signature, whilst the kimono sleeves add a balanced, smart casual feel. The bias cut allows the cowl to drape beautifully and the fabric to fit flatteringly to the body.
To make Pomegranate you need a lightweight drapey fabric, and matching thread – and that’s all!
