Joa Top Pattern

Joa is a simple, lined wrap top with ties at the side. Choose to make it quilted or not.

Joa looks great in denim, layered cotton jacquard or quilted cottons. Wear on its own or layer it up in the colder months as a gilet. This pattern includes instructions for quilting your own fabric or you can use pre-quilted Indian Cottons or layered cotton jacquards. It’s a quick and satisfying make and a simple introduction to quilting for beginners.
