Adult Sewing Series: The Rosette Top

 

Adult Sewing Series: The Bow Tie Front Top

 

 

Sew a soft, romantic peplum top designed for warm days and effortless layering.

 

In this month-long adult series, students will create a sleeveless bow tie front top with a gathered peplum and flattering open neckline. The adjustable front ties create delicate bows at center front, giving this piece that feminine feel while still being completely wearable. Light, airy, and easy to style from casual afternoons to dressed up evenings, this is the kind of handmade piece you will actually reach for.

 

This class focuses on real garment construction skills in a calm, supportive studio environment. You will move through the full process from measuring and cutting to gathering, finishing, and refining details so your final piece looks polished and intentional.

 

Limited to just three students for lots of personalized coaching.
