Buy the Child/Teen Xeres Top sewing pattern from Petits D'om. Xeres is a cropped summer top with an oversized fit. The top is lined so the neckline is very easy to finish, and it has a button-and-loop closure at the back (optional for larger sizes). The grown-on short sleeves can be edged with gathered trim. Xeres is quick to sew and pairs perfectly with high-waisted bottoms.
