Sew a jersey knit top with me, and along the way I'll show you how to get the most out of your fabric, and some techniques I use for zero waste patterns.  Suitable for intermediate sewers, this top is sewn entirely on a regular machine.  It's also possible to sew it by hand.  The pattern fits bust measurements 34"/86.5cm - 70"/178cm.
