THE MATCHA • Pattern
By SEW LIBERATED, The Matcha is a paper sewing pattern.
Garment Details: The Matcha is a swingy, easy-to-sew top with a stunning, mandarin-inspired neckline. Designed to highlight your gorgeous collar bone and draw the eyes up to your face, it leaves your waist free to move around comfortably. Both sleeveless and sleeved versions feature a unique shoulder construction that visually squares off and balances your shoulders. The Matcha hits at the hip and is breastfeeding-friendly. Show off your favourite bracelets and bangles with the elbow-length, beautifully angled sleeves, and sew up the sleeveless version to pair perfectly with a cardigan or jean jacket, making it an essential all-season pattern.
Sizing: This is a multi-size pattern, including sizes 0-24. Sizing can be found here.
Fabric Suggestions: Mid-weight, soft fabric with a nice drape. Good options include cotton ikat, double gauze, Tencel™ and silk crepe-de-chine and charmeuse. Some linens will work, as long as they drape well such as meetMILK's Slub Linen & Tencel™ Blend.
