This pattern includes the option of a full circle twirl top, inspired by the swing and trapeze tops of the 1970's, or a bubble top that is so much fun to wear.  Can also be made as a simple tank top, adding to the versatility of this pattern.

The overlay is designed for woven fabrics and is fully lined with a fitted knit tank top. This is the perfect design for lace, chiffon, eyelet, and so many amazing sheer fabrics!

    Such a fun pattern! I made the twirl version and my twirly girl loves it. Fit is perfect; instructions are so clear and helpful. Looking forward to sewing the bubble version next.

    Thank you for this pattern and once I get to see my youngest grand daughter, and she tries them on I know that I will be the best Nana. There is nothing like causing happiness in family members. Your pattern has been such a pleasure to sew and instructions easy to read and follow. I have made seven Avalons for our wee one so she has one for every day of the week. If you have not bought this pattern then take it from me it will be a great success. It is a wonderful pattern.

The Avalon Region is a large peninsula at the southern end of Newfoundland.  It includes the most Eastern point in all of Canada; looking out over the Atlantic Ocean, there is nothing but sea all the way to Europe.

 

This is a land of rugged coastal beauty, with green and rocky cliffs hugging the shoreline and villages rich in history and culture.
