Ruffle some feathers in this simple, stylish ruffle-sleeve top!

The Peppermint Ruffle Sleeve Top is a simple woven shirt with a v-neck, bust darts, elbow length sleeve with a ruffle and a neck facing. It has a boxy fit and is the perfect piece to take you from day to night. It slips over the head – no fussy closures! The instructions guide you through making the top with french seams for a clean and professional finish. This exclusive Peppermint pattern was created for us by In The Folds.

We’re super excited to bring you this pattern in partnership with the lovely people at The Fabric Store. With a passion for all things sewing, they stock an incredible range of fabrics – think quality linen, silk, cotton, merino and even leather – at their Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and New Zealand stores, as well as a small selection online.

Happy stitching!

What our sewing community says

This was one of the first patterns I sewed. I have since made 3 of these tops. The pattern is so easy to follow and made me fall in love with French seams.

@Stitch.Sew.Snip

I love how versatile this Peppermint ruffle sleeve top is... I can certainly dress it down to a casual look in this hot weather while I’m also covering my shoulder from UV radiation from the ☀️ Win-win really!

@Sew.H_Factor

Here at Peppermint, we’re passionate about all things craft, creativity and community!

The strands of Peppermint’s DNA are bonded together with buttons and thread. Since our beginnings in 2008, sustainable fashion, either by brands that are working to bring change to the industry or those made by your own two hands, is at our cotton-loving core. We love the undeniable happiness that is woven through the maker community. It’s a tough old world out there at the moment, and anything that brings joy with a side of kindness and connection (and a new creative endeavour) is a good thing indeed. We ♡ our sewing community and hope you ♡ our sewing patterns!
