Top 151 — sports top with crossed back
Cropped stretch-knit top pattern with crossed back straps and a wide elastic band at the hem, for dance and gym lines.
Top with a round neck fitted to the torso, thin straps that cross in an X over the back and a wide elastic band at the hem that cinches the waist. The cut ends just below the bust, with wide armholes that leave freedom of movement.
It works best in jersey with spandex or a performance stretch knit for the stretch and close drape this type of top needs. It sells well in activewear and dance lines and pairs with leggings or shorts in the same fabric to build a set. Sew the crossed back with a narrow covered elastic so it does not distort with wear.
It comes in 8 sizes (XS to 4XL) with the industrial grading already done: pick the sizes you need on the product page, or buy the full size range in one go. Delivered as an A4 PDF to print at home and a true-scale plotter PDF (90, 120 or 150 cm wide); DXF/AAMA, Optitex (PDS), marker (MRK) or Audaces (ADS) files for cutting directly in CAD are available on request. Digital download within 24 hours of payment confirmation.
Professional sewing pattern for women, approved with a sewn sample, with the full industrial size range available. Sizes are chosen on the product page (the base price covers the standard size selection and each extra size adds a small surcharge); the CAD formats include the full size range.
