The Strata Top pattern is the backbone of your handmade wardrobe and a great pattern for beginners. The uniquely curved hem adds elegance to this staple piece. Keep things uncomplicated with a version in a slub linen blend, cotton ikat, or silk noil – or use the fabric as your canvas. Try using beloved scraps to piece together your own storied fabric, experiment with natural dyes, or add some sashiko embroidery. Enjoy both the craft and the art.

The Studio Tunic pattern by Sew Liberated is a pinafore-style tunic that takes layering to a new level.

The utilitarian stitching makes for a durable, wear-everywhere answer to your art-teacher-vibe dreams. You'll be hands-free and ready for adventure with roomy pockets for all the treasures and tools you need in the kitchen, studio, garden, or hiking trail.

The deeper neckline and low armholes make layering over all types of tops, in all seasons, a breeze. It’s easy to layer over jeans, leggings, dresses, and skirts with the easy A-line silhouette, and the hem falls to mid-thigh.

The pattern includes the option of a V-neck or a deep, rounded neckline.

S.E.W. Wardrobe Capsule:

Estuary Skirt

Wednesday, July 31, 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm

The Estuary Skirt comes in sizes 0-30 and features a comfortable elastic back. The button front placket, which can be sewn with buttonholes OR as a faux, buttonhole-free placket, makes this skirt a great project for all levels of sewists.

Wear it with plain or graphic knit tees, woven Strata Tops, or warm it up in the winter with a cropped sweater or sweatshirt, leggings and boots. Effortless outfits. And big ol’ pockets – instructions for either patch pockets or in-seam pockets are provided. The skirt can also be lengthened or shortened to your heart’s content.
