………..Welcome To My Sewing Room
Feature Friday Pattern From Love Notions~
The $6 Feature Friday Pattern for today, 1/9/2026 is the Breckenridge Henley! Remember to use my code 10MACSEWS for an additional 10% off. The Breckenridge is a great top for layering (see it with my Boyfriend Cardigan below or to wear all on its own. As seen above, I’ve even hacked it into a vest! Nervous about sewing a henley placket? It’s a lot easier than you may think!
The Details
The Breckenridge Henley is an easy to wear top, tunic or dress. Meant for knit fabrics, this style is perfect for all seasons! The neckline is an unconventional henley style that is amazingly easy to sew! Believe it or not buttonholes aren’t even required!
- 3 length options: shirt, tunic or dress
- 3 sleeve options: short, long cuffed or roll- tab 3/4
- Simple to sew henley placket. (Seriously!!!)
- Optional buttonholes
