Sewing Pattern Crop Tops and Shorts by Jalie

Make versatile activewear and loungewear pieces with this Jalie sewing pattern for crop tops and shorts. The pattern includes multiple top and short views, giving you options for racerback, halter, and criss-cross spaghetti strap styles, plus two short styles for different rise and waistband finishes. It is a great choice for home sewists making dancewear, workout sets, lounge sets, or comfortable everyday separates.

Designed with practical finishing details, this pattern uses foldover elastic at the neckline and armholes on some views, and encased elastic at the bottom edge or waist on others. That makes it a useful pattern for sewing with stretch fabrics and for creating a clean, secure finish on garments that need comfort and movement.
