Taimi is a fashionably simple sewing pattern that includes a top and a dress variation. Both variations feature a voluminous, gathered hem, and a round neckline and armholes that are finished with binding. The top is hip-length, and slightly longer in the back. The dress waist seam is curved, its hemline comes down to the ankle, and it has handy in-seam side pockets.

MATERIALS & SUPPLIES

• (4 cm (1 5/8”) premade bias binding, 235 cm (2 5/8 yd))

Cut the binding lengths from your fabric as suggested in the cutting plan, or use a premade binding. if you are cutting the bindings from your fabric, follow the first fabric requirement table (with binding). If you are using a ready-made binding, see the lower table for the fabric requirement (without binding).

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS

For both variations, choose a non-stretch, light-weight or medium-weight fabric. Depending on the desired result, you can choose either a more drapey, or a more rigid fabric. Linen and linen blends offer a wide variety of weights.
