The Bias Shift Top is a uniquely constructed, minimal-waste design that transforms a single square of fabric into a beautifully draping bias-cut top.

This pattern offers two distinct views for effortless everyday wear: View 1 features a cinched front waist for a defined silhouette, while View 2 offers a classic, simple style.

The innovative construction creates the illusion of raglan sleeves, and the bias cut ensures exceptional comfort and movement. For optimal drape, lightweight, fluid fabrics are recommended.

The Bias Shift Top's design utilizes zero-waste pattern-cutting techniques and features interlocking pattern pieces that come together to create a whole. While the goal of designing a zero-waste sewing pattern is to use all the required fabric, the Bias Shift Top is minimal waste to accommodate a wide range of sizes.
