Sew a stretch top - great layering piece

Description

Spend an afternoon at Stitching Kitchen learning how to make the Tilly and The Buttons Agnes jersey top. Agnes is a close-fitting jersey top, speedy to sew and simple to fit, finished with a narrow band at the neckline. The pattern is suitable for confident beginners or improvers – jersey isn’t the easiest fabric to sew, so ideally you should have made a few garments before.

Lindsey will guide you through construction of the garment. She will help you with adjustments so your jersey top fits well and is super comfortable. Due to time constraints, you will have the choice of making either of the length straight sleeve options.
