Event Details
The batwing lounge top is so comfortable to wear and quick to sew up that you'll definitely want to make more than one. Depending on the fabric you choose, your look can range from laid-back loungewear to dressy statement piece, and the ample, curved sleeves add fun, stylistic interest. Sanae Ishida - illustrator, author, and maker of many things - will show you how to draft and sew this versatile garment adapted from her book Sewing Love. You'll learn how to modify your front torso sloper - which you can learn to make in her torso sloper class - and draft the one and only pattern piece that you'll need to sew this top together. She also offers her tips for sewing with stretchy fabric. After finishing your first batwing top, see how easy it is to modify and personalize it even more by playing with hem and sleeve length, body width, armhole size, or even adding a patch pocket.
