Our Lady of Leisure Screwdriver Top PDF (Intermediate)

The Screwdriver Top is such an eyecatcher! This is a flattering woven wrap top with dramatic, ruffled sleeves, which ties at the hip with a dramatic bow. 
The stunning sleeves have simple origami folds that give them their body, and elasticated sleeve-hems to make the sewing easy. 

While it looks impressive, this sewing pattern is remarkably forgiving. The instructions are probably the best we've ever written - they are detailed, step-by-step instructions with clear diagrams for each action. 


Skill Level: Intermediate.
You don't need to be an expert to sew up this dramatic blouse! There is a little bit of basic origami folding, and a small section of gathering, but that's as hard as it gets. You should be familiar with basic sewing terms and have a good understanding of your machine. There are no zips, no buttons, no set-in sleeves. 
(If you're feeling a little bit intimidated, please send me a quick message and I'll email you the instructions before you buy so you can decide for yourself. This goes for every OLOL pattern!)
