The Leni top by Tessutti: Tuesday June 16th, 10-4pm

Tessuti Leni Top Workshop

Another firm favourite here at Betty’s is the Tessuti Leni Top, a stylish and very wearable top that quickly becomes a wardrobe staple.

It’s a simple sleeveless design that looks lovely worn on its own in the summer, but it’s also perfect for layering. Pop it over a long sleeve tee or a t-shirt and it works beautifully through the cooler months as well.

The Leni is very versatile when it comes to fabric choices. Make it in a slightly thicker fabric for a more structured look, or choose something lighter such as one of the beautiful cotton lawns we have in the shop for a softer, more relaxed feel. Almost any woven fabric will work.

It’s a very satisfying make and a great addition to your handmade wardrobe. It also pairs brilliantly with our Betty’s Bob trousers if you fancy making a co-ord.

Join us for a relaxed sewing session and come and make your own Leni Top with us at Betty’s.
