In this class, you’ll learn how to use coil basketry techniques to make a small pine needle basket. Through the half day workshop, you will learn to prepare pine needles for weaving, create the initial spiral around a wooden center, build the walls of the basket, and finish the border of your basket. Additionally, I will share the origins of pine needle coil basketry and the basics of pine needle foraging. You will leave with the skills to select and harvest wild materials and use them to continue creating your own pine needle baskets. All tools and materials will be provided. Ages 12 and up.

Outstanding pattern - super fun to sew and flattering & comfortable to wear! I used a black lightweight linen in Version B but I'm looking forward to making this again in Version A and also cropping the pattern into shorts length too!

This is such a quick sew. I made the size 14, since that’s closest to my measurements, and I made no changes since the pattern is already really long so that you can tuck it into pants. It’s so comfortable to wear!

Great pattern. Raglan sleeves are great for me because I have narrow shoulders; the Monarch’s sleeves pattern pieces fit perfectly. This was my first version years ago, but I’m sharing since it’s modified. It may give you some ideas of how to get more mileage out of this pattern.
I simplified mine since my fabric (a quilted-look low-stretch knit) was a bit bulky. I left off the sleeve cuffs and the bottom band. Then, I used a big sew-on snap (covered by a big button I found in my button box) only at the neckline instead of the visible snaps. So, this is a bit of a swing style. Super easy to wear.

I used this pattern to make a top to wear over tights. I found this an easy pattern to make, and love the relaxed style and comfortable fit.
