CLASS DESCRIPTION
Join us for morning of coffee/tea sip and sewing!!
Learn how to measure your body, read a pattern and construct a basic peplum style tank top from Matchy Matchy sewing club that you’re sure to live in this summer. (Sizes XXS to 6XL available)
Caley is excited to patiently guide you through, step by step. With this pattern you can choose a solid front or the fun split bodice to do colour or pattern blocking. It's your choice!
If you’ve just started sewing, or looking to get back into it. This is the perfect class for you.
As long as you’re comfortable using your machine to sew a straight line, backstitch to secure your seams, and follow a seam allowance; Caley will teach you everything else you need to know to make this beautiful pattern.
A sample of the tank top is on display in the shop so you can get inspired before you sew.

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS
Choose a Light to midweight woven fabric depending on the drape you prefer;
For a crisp, structured silhouette, choose fabrics like cotton shirting, lightweight twill, or linen blends.
For a softer, more relaxed drape, opt for washed linen, lightweight cotton, or other breathable woven fabrics with movement.
If you need help choosing fabric, come by the shop — we’re happy to help you pick the perfect one.
