ABOUT
The Preston Top was designed for every occasion! It can easily be dressed up with a skirt for the office or paired with your favorite shorts for a fun night around a bonfire.
This transitional piece features beautiful ribbed edging, a classic scoop neckline, and perfect shaping. (No awkward puckering under the arms or straps that won't stay up!) Plus, the pattern offers options like: cropped, full-length, peplum style, and dress! Not to mention, it's made up entirely of the Tunisian Simple Stitch (AKA: the beginner stitch) making it perfect for newbies.
As always, the pattern offers row by row instructions with color coded sizes, as well as, diagrams so there's not confusion!

BEHIND THE NAME
Before I became a SAHM, my favorite job was at Preston Lakes Apartments in Owasso, Oklahoma. My boss was awesome (Yup, I'm talking about you, Kim Hackler!), the job was fun, and I got to dress up EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I'm talking high waisted pencil skirts, peplum tops, dresses, heels... ALL OF IT! And since I was coming from a factory floor job, that was obviously a pro. Anyways, after making the peplum version of this top, it immediately took me back to those days at the office! So yeah... this top is technically named after an apartment complex. Real deep stuff here.
