Otium Top Pattern by Sofilantjes | Tour & Giveaway!

I had so much fun on the last Sofilantjes pattern tour, I’m back – this time with the Otium Top! Like the Omni Tempore, this pattern is available for adults and kids. It is a relaxed fit shirt with sleeve cuffs & waistband with neckline, sleeve & shirt front variations!
I have a serious lack of long sleeve options in my wardrobe so I grabbed this purple sweater knit at F&M Fabrics. (You can find them online at www.thefabricmarket.com). The Otium Sweater Pattern has a wider neckline so I chose a size small on top and tapered out to the medium toward the bottom. It is quite roomy and I would probably size down even more the next time around. This version is really comfortable, however, so I have no complaints! 

I really loved the scoop back option so that was definitely a design feature I wanted to include. There are even pattern pieces and instructions for adding a bow, as shown in kids version in the tour graphic above! Sleeve variations include short, 3/4 and long. You can also change the look entirely by making the diagonal pocket version – be sure to check out the other tour stops linked up below to see all the amazing options included in this pattern!
