The Stockbridge Top is a creative and versatile sewing project—perfect for upcycling thrifted shirts while making the most of their existing tailoring details like collars, cuffs, and button plackets. Less tricky sewing - win win! There are so many options - with or without sleeves, multiple collar options and optional ruffle - you are the designer! Ideal for the creative mind.
🌿 Perfect for Upcycling
This clever pattern is designed to help you refashion large adult shirts into beautifully finished tops. By reusing features like buttonholes, collars, and hems, you get a professional look with minimal effort and easier sewing.
