The Ishan Top features a flattering notched V-neckline that gives you a touch of detail at the collar without showing more than you’re comfortable with. The relaxed body skims your curves with ease — no clinging, no hiding, just a shape that works. A clean yoke detail across the back adds a tailored finish that elevates the whole look.

And because one sleeve length doesn’t fit every day, the Ishan Top comes with two options. Choose the longer sleeve for more coverage or the shorter sleeve for warmer days and a more casual feel. Same confident fit either way.

  • Everyday wear that still looks intentional
  • Layering under jackets, cardigans, or abayas
  • Pairing with your favorite jeans, skirts, or wide-leg pants
  • Warm weather when you want coverage without overheating

Pattern Difficulty Guide

We believe that anyone can sew anything with enough patience and perseverance. However, knowing how time-consuming or challenging a pattern might be can help you decide what suits your skills and schedule. Our skill levels are based on the techniques each pattern requires, but don’t worry—our patterns will guide you through everything, so feel free to challenge yourself! Here’s how we rate our patterns:

Beginner:
Designed for true beginners with simple designs and easy sewing techniques. These patterns are quick to sew, with no complicated closures like zippers or buttons. They’re perfect if you’re new to sewing or short on time. Expect straightforward construction with minimal hand sewing or fitting required. We recommend using easy-to-handle fabrics.

Confident Beginner:
Ideal for beginners ready to learn new skills. These patterns may include slightly more complex features like zippers or buttons, but they’re still relatively quick to sew. They provide more variety than basic beginner patterns but are great for those with limited sewing knowledge. Some fitting knowledge is helpful, and the fabrics may vary slightly but remain beginner-friendly.

Intermediate:
These patterns offer more details and design complexity, such as zippers, topstitching, or a zipper fly. Projects in this category can take more than 7 hours to complete, so they’re ideal if you have more time and experience. Expect techniques like tailoring or unique construction details. You’ll also encounter a wider variety of fabrics, from stretch knits to synthetic leathers.

Advanced:
Perfect for experienced sewists, these patterns are more detailed and time-consuming, often requiring 9+ hours to complete. Expect more pattern pieces, precision work, and advanced techniques like bound buttonholes or welt pockets. These are highly tailored designs that require patience and skill to achieve a professional finish.
