This is a beginner-level all hand sewing class. The pattern is one size, the body width is determined by the width of your fabric. There are no pattern pieces. The length can be modified to your liking - from a tunic to a more cropped tee. The design has been tested on a wide range of body types. We will also be covering how to make any modifications to best fit your frame and style, different ways to embellish it, add sleeves, or turn it into a dress.
Fabric Requirements
• 1yd [1m] of 56“ - 61” [142cm - 155cm] wide fabric. Linen, linen blends, cotton or linen double gauze. Ideally you want a woven fabric with a bit a drape, especially as the shoulders drop down to form the sleeve caps. You may also use 44” fabric, but you will be limited to a 23” shirt length.
Additional Supplies
Clear ruler, cutting mat and rotary cutter OR fabric scissors, pins, matching cotton sewing thread, hand sewing needle, small sharp embroidery scissors, seam gauge (optional)
