garment series: donny shirt

Everyone loves one of those "you can wear it with anything" tops in their closet. Why not make your very own? Join Alissa in the studio this March for a 2-weekend session to make the Donny Shirt by Friday Pattern Company.
The Donny is a boxy-pull on top that is designed to be a workhorse in your wardrobe. It's a dartless top with a lapel collar and patch pocket. It's a great everyday top that can be worn with practically anything - keep it casual by pairing it with your favorite jeans, or dress it up a bit and match it with your favorite flowy skirt.
During this 2-weekend class, students will learn how to create a placket and collar, make a facing and make patch pocket as they make this garment from start to finish with just a yard or two of fabric (depending on size). This class is suitable for confident beginner to intermediate students who are looking for their next garment project to tackle. Graduates of our Garment 101 class are encouraged to register to advance their garment sewing skills.
