Notches Patterns - Odell Top | Dress

About Odell

Odell is all about statement sleeves—without the hassle. Its signature puff sleeves require no gathering. Cleverly shaped seams create volume, add playful lines and open up endless possibilities for colour blocking. And they’re surprisingly easy to sew. A high, round neckline at the front keeps the focus on the sleeves, while the deeper back neckline adds a subtle twist. The fit is comfortable, with bust darts for a flattering silhouette. Odell slips on easily without any closures. The pattern includes two hem lengths, so you can make Odell as a top or a short dress.

The Fabric

To achieve the full effect of Odell’s statement sleeves, it’s best to choose a fabric with some structure. Lightweight, flowy fabrics will hold the sleeve shape less well. The best options are easy-to-sew fabrics like cotton and linen, as well as sturdier choices such as canvas, denim and baby cord.
 This pattern is also perfect for mixing fabrics—ideal for using up leftovers! When combining fabrics, make sure all sleeve pieces have a similar weight and structure for a cohesive look.
