You don’t need a pattern to make a new top, just a well-loved one you already own so you can replicate the best bits and know it’ll fit. And because the straight seams of this freehand design makes it easy to hand stitch, you don’t even need a sewing machine.

Our new issue of Pip Magazine features a new cover design and lots of content to help you live a more earth - friendly life. In this issue you will learn how to grow fruit trees in small spaces, harvest wild food from your neighbourhood, implement permaculture design into your home garden, make fermented tempeh from scratch as well as make your own gardening tool caddy.
We also feature inspiring stories from across the country including a garden in Ocean Grove helping with teen climate anxiety, a market gardener growing greens for the people of Alice Springs, an Indigenous weaver and dyer who works with native plants and a hempcrete home build in Tasmania.
Plus all our regular pieces on foraging, seed saving, beekeeping and reducing your impact on the planet
