What can I say, here's a very simple teeshirt with a nice finish, giving way to loads of variations. Tried and succeeded at a full bust adjustement, the fit is great.
I paid for a pattern and video class. The pattern is great but I couldn't find the video class. Tech support was not at all helpful. Just a useless bot.

I hope this is helpful, and that you enjoy sewing your Scenic Top. We're always happy to help xox
I am a novice sewist. I made this top and they made it EASY for me to look so accomplished. Thanks! I only changed 2 things: 1, I did all the hard work first - the stay stitching, the sleeve adjustments, and making bias tape.
2, I used the bias tape for the collar but also for the hem. It looks awesome.
I started this morning and now I will have a gorgeous new top to wear on vacation. Lucky me!
I am so pleased with your site, the patterns, and most especially your instruction. Thank you ladies!
Easy to follow instructions. Very versatile pattern. I have already made two versions. Love it!
I have never made (or bought) a woven top that was comfortable to wear, so I was a bit sceptic when making the scenic top. But, as usualt with t+t patterns, it fits wonderfully! I’ve made a set together with the coastal cuffed pants and will definately make more scenic tops in the future!
Easy, quick sew with a great result. Instructions were well laid out & easy to follow.
OMG! I’ve just finished sewing this top and I am so pleased. The fit is perfect – a little loose and not figure hugging. I love that there are options – different types of sleeves and hems.
All my life, I have been doing simple sewing, mainly mending tears, raising hems and various simple straight sewing. I have been wanting to sew my own clothes but I felt that at my age, I just didn’t have the patience to sit in a drafting class or learn the various techniques of drafting. Twig + Tale has changed everything for me. The pattern is given so I only had to choose the correct size by following the detailed instructions. After that, all I had to do was to read and follow the detailed instructions on how to sew the pieces together (written, photographic and video). It’s like having your own private sewing instructor with you as you sew. Among other things, I learnt how to cut and sew the bias, and, most importantly, how to sew on the sleeves (something I was previously fearful to try on my own).
I am so excited! I will buy more cloth to sew more Scenic Tops. After that, I will definitely buy and sew the other blouse patterns as I see that there are more techniques for me to learn.
I’ve made the Scenic Top with the cap sleeve. Instructions are clear and I love the shape of the shirt, it’s flattering on. Lovely alternative to a knit tee.
I liked the back to basics instructions that were easy to follow.
I will use this pattern over and over, as I adjusted it for a perfect fit.
I love the fit of the scenic, just enough ease, but not to much. Quick sew with great result
