About

Join us to make the Matcha Top from Sew Liberated, an easy A-line top with your choice of neckline variations and either 3/4 or sleeveless versions. This is a pattern that can be modified to be breastfeeding friendly, so if you are or know a new mom this might be a nice chance to build your skills and make a useful addition to someone's wardrobe! 

This pattern is made from lightweight woven fabrics, making it easy for beginners to sew while also building some useful skills:

• Choosing an appropriate pattern size
• Cutting out pattern pieces
• Using interfacing
• Finishing seams and hemming
• Gathering fabric evenly
• Installing a basic collar
