Thea kimono sleeve top PDF sewing pattern

Thea is a relaxed top with short kimono sleeves, a rounded neckline and a softly curved, cropped hemline. With no set-in sleeves, it's a lovely first garment if you're new to sewing, and a quick, satisfying make if you're not.

The curved hem is finished with a facing, so you get a really clean edge without fiddly folding. It's an easy everyday top that works in almost any woven fabric, or even a sturdy knit.
