In this multi-week, 2-hour, machine sewing class, you will learn how to use the Colorblock Top pattern by Matchy Matchy to make a top in your size. Sewing a cute top is a great way to jump into making garments from patterns! We will cover sizing, assembling the pattern, fabric selection, and more.
This is a great class for anyone who knows how to Follow a Sewing Pattern, but is not quite ready to Sew a Shorts and Top Set. Students should have a good level of confidence behind the sewing machine and be ready to expand their skillset. Students must have experience completing simple projects at home and feel comfortable and confident enough to take on an intermediate challenge, knowing there will be lots of help and personalized attention.
The printed pattern will be provided. Students need to plan to purchase their own fabric and materials after the first class, during which sizing, measurements, yardage and fabric specifics will be covered.

1.5 yards fusible interfacing
1 spool of thread
1.5-3 yards of basic cotton fabric, can be found locally for as little as $3 per yard. A large thrifted tablecloth can work too
Masking tape
Tools:
Fabric scissors
Paper scissors
Pins
Iron to use at home
Sewing machine to use at home
