Description
Skill Level: Advanced Beginner
Make a complete outfit in this garment series! In class, we'll be making the waist-length top + shorts version of the Esti Co-Ord.
Simple to sew and incredible versatile, the Esti Co-Ord by Tilly and the Buttons offers staple separates for layering or a chic faux jumpsuit. The top features a square neckline, diagonal bust darts, and either a waist or high hip length. The high-waisted shorts feature an elastic waistband. Depending on your fabrics, you can achieve a casual look by choosing quilting cotton or linen, or dress it up and make it flowy by choosing a rayon or cotton lawn. Pattern includes sizes 2 to 30.
This class is suitable for advanced beginner garment sewers who have taken our Garment 101 class or have an equivalent experience level. Students must be able to confidently thread and operate a sewing machine independently.
