The Ashton Top with Liz Simpson (Thursday March 12th & 19th 6-9pm)

The Ashton Top is the GOAT, a well-loved and highly recommended classic all-season wardrobe staple that is easy to sew and style! Wear it during cooler months with jeans and a cardigan, or pair it with shorts for summer. The Ashton has bust darts and a signature A-line shape. View A is a hip-length top and view B is a crop top, ideal for pairing with high-waisted pants or skirts. For this workshop, you can choose either view, the neck and arms are finished with bias binding. The hem is finished using a beautiful hem facing. The Ashton makes a great stash-buster!

Size Range: 0-30 (33” - 58″ hip)

This pattern includes two size options. There is a B-cup pattern from sizes 0-22 and a D-cup pattern from sizes 12-30.

Recommended Fabrics:
The Ashton can be made in a wide variety of woven fabrics. Try light to medium-weight cotton or linen for a structured look. Silk crêpe de chine, Tencel twill, or rayon challis will result in an Ashton with more drape.  Fabrics with more drape work better for tucking into skirts or pants, whereas stiffer fabrics showcase Ashton’s A-line shape.
