Description:
Agustina is a simple and slightly cropped boxy top with round neckline and cuff sleeves. And sometimes simple is best. An ideal beginner sewing project, this top sews up in just a couple of hours and requires very little fabric. We chose to make this top in our gauzy open weave linen that has a unique slightly sheer look making it ideal for summer.
Such a great basic pattern, it's guaranteed to become one of your favorites. Plus, it lends itself to so many simple hacks to make it your very own. You can lengthen the hem and turn it into a dress, or transform cuffs into long sleeves, or add a belt.

Customer Questions and Answers
How do I figure out my bust measurement? Is it full bust or something else? Thank you!
F|S Team
Any bust measurements provided on our free patterns are for the full bust.
Can I use bias tape on the neck, and if so what width do you recommend ? Thankyou Barb
F|S Team
You can use bias tape if desired. we usually use a 1 in or 7/8" wide tape.
Hi there, the pattern is not printing properly. All instructions have been followed, but it comes out like a mess. Seems like something is wrong with the file

I am retired and new to sewing. I've heard so much praise about this lovely top but I'm nervous about sizing. I am HB 101, FB 112, W 98, H 116. Will I need to perform a dreaded FBA and how? Regards, Sandra
F|S Team
Hello Sandra, Some customers find this design can be forgiving without an FBA, but if you usually find you need extra room, you can follow our FBA tutorial. Here is the link: blog.fabrics-store.com/2023/04/09/sewing-glossary-full-bust-adjustment-tutorial/

I might be missing something obvious but no matter how I lay it out, 1 yard is not enough to cut all of the pieces on the grain. Can anyone help me visualize how this works? Thanks!
F|S Team
Rather than folding your fabric in half with the selvedges meeting, open out your fabric flat then fold the selvedges into the middle of the fabric. This will give you two folds to place your pattern pieces for the front and back :)
This top looks fantastic, is easy to sew, and very well drafted. I have made 3 of them now!
This pattern was great! Easy to follow and came out just like the pictures. Thank you!
This was my very first time sewing a shirt and following a pattern to completion. The instructions were easy to follow, and it made the process quite enjoyable. I love the result and will make this shirt again. Thank you!
I love this top, and will definitely make more of them. I found that it runs big, so I sized down one size, and may go down one more size next time. I used IL019 bleached with signature finish. I lengthened the back, and added some embroidery with linen thread I was gifted. I love the finished shirt. Thank you sooo much for this free pattern.
Yes, I do! I've made four of these. When finishing the neckline, however, if using a thicker fabric, I suggest making the seam allowance on the neckline a little smaller to make finishing easier.
I loooove this pattern so much and have made it 3 times in a row! I wear a 16 US, but sewed the size 22 for this pattern so it would be breezy and boxy. I first sewed it with an indian print floral linen. Then I used up some remnants of double-gauze and made it a color-block style. But my all time favorite is a lovely natural beige rayon-linen blend. The drape is very luxe! SEQUENCE TIP: Having made 3 of them now, I found it easiest to serge the shoulders, then sew the neckline, then directly serge the cuffs onto the OPEN armholes, and finally serge the entire side closed (cuff to armpit to hem). And lastly sew the hem. That's what works for me, maybe it'll help you too. I still a relatively new sewist & love this pattern!
My mockup for the Agustina Top pattern. Fits very nicely and I'm quite picky on fit. I'm 5'7" and wearing/made a size 8/10 from the pattern. I will experiment with making a size smaller as it is fairly roomy, but certainly wearable also. I lengthened the pattern 2 inches and it's perfect for tucking in or wearing out - both. hem pictured is zigzagged only. It has made it past mockup rounds and will be going into something permanent. excited! I highly recommend the pattern, it works up beautifully and super easy!
This top is super easy to construct and yields an extremely professional finish with very little effort. I made it for a trip to Morocco, and it was perfect. It features a modest neckline, and a loose fit, while still looking polished. I will be making more of these!
My first color blocked garment. Used handkerchief weights but forgot the colors. Found similar tops online for about $200!
I love the Augustina pattern! I made 3 different tops....One with linen, and the other two with cotton. I also added some elastic in the front for a little ruching effect. I should've taken a picture wearing them, but this is what I already have.
