Off the Shoulder Flutter Sleeve Top for Girls (sz 6 to 14)

I’ve got a fun new, Off The Shoulder Top Sewing Pattern for girls to share with you today!  This one is more for the older girls and it comes in sizes 6 to 14.

How cute is this off the shoulder top for girls?  It’s basically a sized down version of my ladies top, but with slightly looser elastic and a halter tie (to compensate for the looser elastic, lol.)

I can not tell you how much my little missy loves this top!   It took me a couple of tries to get it right, but this top is definitely a quick sew.

The first version I followed the same elastic cutting suggestions in the ladies top, but she complained about the tightness bothering her, so I loosened up the fit and just added a halter tie.  (Although the top did seem to stay up without the tie, we didn’t want to take any chances.)

I used a light/medium weight stretch knit on her top and since the knit doesn’t fray, I was able to skip the step of “pre-finishing” the sleeve and bodice edges.  (I did not have any trouble, but I’ve sewn about 6 of these tops now, lol.  Everything just takes a bit of practice.)

I have to say, the trim really made this top.  I think it came out even cuter than my version did!  When choosing your fabric, definitely consider something that will coordinate with a fancy trim.

Ready to sew this top?  This top is sewn the exact same way and the ladies top, (minus the halter tie and slightly looser elastic) so I reused the photos from the ladies top tutorial.
