Frequently Asked Questions
What is a drop shoulder?
The shoulder seam extends past the natural shoulder point, creating a relaxed silhouette without a traditional armhole curve. It is beginner-friendly to sew.
What fabric works best?
Medium-weight wovens with good drape: linen, cotton canvas, flannel, or lightweight wool. Avoid stiff fabrics that do not hang well.
