eves and an easy elasticated waistline. The neckline is finished with facing and

viscose, silk, polyester or a blend.
The best result is achieved with a nice soft drapy fabric.

Printing information Hera top

The first page of the pattern displays a square measuring 2” x 2” / 5cm x 5cm to ensure that
the scaling of your printer is correct. The pattern features the layers option to allow you to
print just the size(s) you need. The pages are trimless. I strongly urge you to use the layers
function, as the pattern has many lines!
