All summer long I’ve been dying to make me a few new woven tops. As soon as I saw the Summer Day top from Made Everyday, I knew it’d be perfect! Stay tuned to the end of this post to see how you can win your own copy, too. You know you totally want to be twinners 😉
I love all the options with this top. I struggled picking which option to do and actually think it took me more time to decide than it did to sew up. Anyone else get paralyzed with indecision when given so many cute choices?! Lucky for all of us, these sew up so quick we can make them all!
I’m lucky enough to get my hands on the newest Raspberry Creek Fabrics goodies and this pretty rayon challis print just needed to be this top. I think woven tees are the best to really let a print shine and this pattern just sings. Can you hear it?!!
I chose the cuff sleeve version because I can’t get enough of this look. I really love a good cuff and this one is super cute.
I did a size 4 and didn’t make any other adjustments. I sometimes like to add length since I’m 5’7″ with a longer torso but I’m really happy with were this hits.
One small thing to note, I found the armhole to be a tad low and wore a cap sleeve half shirt under just for my own comfort. It’s tricky to try to play with an armscyce because you want to keep the arm mobility. I think the comfort and ease wins out here and I’ll probably just keep making these without modifications.
I really love how this top pairs with jeans but think it’ll be cute dressed up with a pencil skirt too. I’m all about versatility and this pattern has it in spades.
Ready to win your own copy? I’m going to make it super easy on you. Just leave a comment on this post and tell me what version you’d make up first and I’ll pick a winner on Friday August 17th. Make sure to check out the Summer Day Top on Instagram to be blown away with inspiration. I can’t decide if I do a peplum version or a simple short sleeve version next (I may be counting down the days til my kids start school simply so I can whip up another one of these!).
Oh Tami, this fabric is 😍. I’ve been crushing on all of Susan’s versions of SDT since May! 😊 Dana did a really good job with this one for sure. I really think the cap sleeve or peplum top would be my first makes from this pattern.

That shirt looks amazing. I’ve been struggling to find the right pattern for woven materials, and this one looks like a win for me. We are the same height with similar proportions, so it’s nice to see how it would fit me, too! Thank you for the giveaway option.

This is one of my favorite new designs from Raspberry Creek! It looks marvelous on you. If I won this pattern, I think I’d do the cuffs with the peplum first because it looks sorta fancy, but also looks comfy. Thanks!
