Video Tutorial: Shoulder seam stabilization tutorial available from Named Clothing

The Eedit Drawstring Knit Top & Dress by Named Clothing is a contemporary sewing pattern featuring a flattering faux-wrap front, elegant V-neckline and adjustable gathers. Designed specifically for knit fabrics, Eedit combines a distinctive construction with a feminine, close-fitting silhouette.

The standout feature is the front drawstring casing, which allows you to adjust the gathering and create beautiful ruching across the bodice. The overlapping front creates the appearance of a wrap garment without a traditional wrap closure.

Choose between a short top and a midi-length dress. Both versions feature long, slim sleeves and a clean, softly bound neckline. Sew it in a fluid viscose jersey for elegant drape or choose a comfortable cotton jersey or lightweight ponte for an everyday wardrobe essential.

Pattern Features

• Two variations: short top and midi-length dress
• Faux-wrap front with a flattering V-neckline
• Adjustable front drawstrings for customized gathering
• Soft ruching across the front
• Long, slim-fitting sleeves
• Close-fitting silhouette
• Neckline finished with a fabric binding
• Designed for stretch knit fabrics
• Non-overlapping pattern layout
• 1 cm (3/8") seam allowances included unless otherwise stated

Suggested Fabrics

Choose a light to medium weight knit fabric with approximately 50% stretch and preferably some drape.

• Jersey
• Cotton jersey
• Lightweight French terry
• Lightweight ponte knit
• Other soft, stretchy knit fabrics with good recovery

For fluid, softly gathered details, choose a knit with a beautiful drape. Fabrics with slightly more structure will create a more defined silhouette.

Notions & Supplies

For Both Top & Dress:

• Stretch knit fabric (see fabric requirements)
• 25 cm (9 7/8") of 5–7 mm (1/4") wide stay tape for stabilizing the shoulder seams
