From Sew Liberated:

The Joanie Top pattern features a camp collar or shawl collar, combining fun, 50s style with the comfort of a modern fit. Choose a classic placket cuff shirt sleeve or breezy short sleeves. With thoughtful details like a fully finished yoke, princess seams in the back, and two hem lengths, Joanie is a timeless closet staple. A clean-lined and classic top, Joanie has a button front, cute breast pocket, and two collar options. Joanie is a perfect blank slate for a fabric that wants to take center stage, or as a classic compliment to some patched jeans or creative bottoms. 

  • View A has a camp collar and button front. The fit is semi-fitted, with front bust darts and back yoke and princess seams. The high-hip length hem, split at the side seam, is slightly shorter at the front than the back. The cuffed sleeves have an easy fit that allow for comfortable movement and a playful silhouette.
     
  • View B features a shawl collar and button front. The fit is semi-fitted, with front bust darts and back yoke and princess seams. The tunic length hem has a shirt-style curved edge and is slightly shorter at the front than the back. The long sleeves have a tower placket and cuff for a comfortable fit and easy styling options. 

Fabric Recommendations: We recommend a light- to medium-weight woven fabric that has no stretch. The drape or hand of the fabric will impact the look of the final garment – softer fabrics will fall more gently, and more stable fabrics like linen and cotton will emphasize the sleeve and collar shaping. Some wonderful choices are chambray, viscose-linen slub, sand-washed linen or cotton, cotton ikat, or even silk noil.
