sold out

Saturday, November 14 · 10am–5pm (or until finished)
4652 W. Washington Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90016

Want to make your own vintage-inspired Dôen dupe? Spend the day at Patchwork sewing the Chloe Top by Silversaga Patterns. We’ll be making View A of the full Chloe Dress & Top pattern, with the option to add short puff sleeves or keep it sleeveless.

Designed for confident beginners and beyond, this one-day, small-group workshop will take you through making your Chloe Top from start to finish. The Chloe is a simple, satisfying make featuring an adjustable neckline with fabric ties, bias-bound armholes, and optional short gathered sleeves.

What You'll Learn

  • How to read and work from a garment sewing pattern

  • Fabric layout and cutting

  • Garment construction and finishing techniques

  • Sewing buttonholes for the neckline channel

  • Creating an adjustable neckline with fabric ties

  • Bias-bound necklines and armholes

  • Adding gathered sleeves with an elastic hem (optional)

Skill Level

This workshop is designed for confident beginners who are comfortable operating a sewing machine and have completed at least a few beginner sewing projects. You should be familiar with basic machine functions including threading, winding a bobbin, sewing a straight stitch, and backstitching. Bonus points if you have experience with bias binding.

If you've taken any of Patchwork's other sewing classes, you're ready for this workshop. This is not an introductory sewing class and is not recommended as a first-ever sewing project. If you're not sure, don't hesitate to reach out!

Select Your Size & Sleeve Choice

  • Before registering, please review the Chloe Top size chart below and measure yourself to determine which size you'll be making in class. You'll select your size and sleeve choice during registration.

  • Please choose your size based on your current measurements. We'll use this information to prepare the correct pattern size for class and, if you've selected the Fabric Provided option, to make sure we have enough fabric prepared for you.

Choose Your Fabric

Bring Your Own Fabric — $155

  • Bring the amount of lightweight woven fabric required for your size, as indicated in the Fabric Requirements chart. Depending on your size and whether you choose the sleeveless or puff-sleeve version, you'll need approximately 1–2 yards of fabric. Cotton, lightweight linen, voile, and similar fabrics work well. Please purchase and pre-wash your fabric before class.

Fabric Provided — $185

  • Prefer to make your top with fabric from Patchwork? Choose from our curated fabric options when you register. Options are pictured below. We'll prepare the amount of fabric required for your size and chosen sleeve option, and have it washed and ready for you when class begins.

  • A note on the color names: the “khaki” linen is more of an earthy, muted green, and the “denim” cotton is not actual denim—it’s simply a denim-inspired color.

What's Included

  • One full day of instruction

  • Use of Patchwork's Janome sewing machines

  • Use of all studio sewing tools and equipment

  • Hands-on guidance throughout the construction process

  • Fabric and matching thread, if choosing the Fabric Provided option

Pre-Work

  • All workshop students are required by Silversaga Patterns to purchase the Chloe Top & Dress pattern directly from Silversaga before class. We've arranged a discount code for workshop students, which will be shared with you ahead of the workshop.

  • You do not need to print your own pattern before class. We'll have the pattern materials needed for cutting your fabric pre-prepared and ready to use in class.

What to Bring

  • If you're bringing your own fabric, please bring:

    • The amount of pre-washed woven fabric required for your size and chosen sleeve option. Refer to the Fabric Requirements chart below to determine the amount needed.

    • Matching thread

  • You're also welcome to bring lunch, snacks, and any food or beverages you'd like during class. We'll take a mid-day lunch break, but please note that Patchwork does not have a refrigerator or microwave.
