Jeannette Top Sew-Along Pattern

Jeannette Top Sew-Along Pattern

The Jeannette Top is a stylish, easy-to-wear layering piece designed to showcase the beauty and artistry of Ghana Batik fabric. Featuring a relaxed silhouette, open front, clean neckline, short sleeves, and contrasting details, the Jeannette Top is the perfect statement piece for adding color, culture, and handmade style to your wardrobe.

Named in honor of Gertrude Hadley Jeannette, a pioneering Black actress, playwright, director, and cultural trailblazer, this top celebrates a woman who lived boldly and created space for others to do the same. Gertrude Hadley Jeannette broke barriers throughout her remarkable life—from becoming one of the first women licensed to drive a taxi in New York City to building a lasting legacy in Black theater. Like its namesake, the Jeannette Top is bold, expressive, versatile, and made to stand out.

The beautiful Ghana Batik fabric transforms this versatile silhouette into a wearable work of art. Pair your Jeannette Top with jeans and a simple tank for an effortless everyday look, or dress it up with trousers, a skirt, and your favorite accessories.
