Pattern hack: turn Butterick B6285 wrap top into a tuck-in surplice top

February 4, 2016 by Tasha 10 Comments

As I mentioned in my wrap/surplice top series introduction, I have two pattern hacks I've worked up for Gertie's Butterick B6285 pattern. Yesterday I showed you how to lengthen the wrap top bodice. But today's modification is my favorite: how I turned this wrap top pattern into a surplice top. Basically, it looks the same, there's just no wrap ties, and it's long enough to tuck it in!

I came up with the idea out of the blue, because I have a sewing pattern I've been totally obsessing over for the last month and a half (if you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed!).
