Summery Made-to-Measure Top Crochet-A-Long ☀️🧶✨
A handmade summer top that actually fits your body? With support, accountability, and a community cheering you on the entire way? Yeah. We're doing that.
This summer, we're launching our very first garment Crochet-A-Long, and we're starting with a made-to-measure crochet top using Yarnalia Magic, our favorite 100% pima cotton yarn, for lightweight, breathable garments with a dreamy drape that you'll actually want to wear all summer long. Honestly, it's becoming the unofficial Makeshift uniform. 💁
One of our favorite things about this design is that it was intentionally created to be non-gendered and highly customizable. Whether your style leans feminine, masculine, androgynous, colorful, minimalist, fitted, oversized, or somewhere in between, this top is designed to look fantastic on all kinds of bodies and personal styles. We want you to create a garment that feels like you.
This isn't just "buy a pattern and good luck."
This is a guided Makeshift experience designed to help you finally finish a wearable project with customization support, troubleshooting help, accountability, and a cozy group of fellow crocheters working through the project alongside you.
Whether you want your top to be a single color, striped, color blocked, soft and neutral, or an absolute colorful statement piece, the Makeshift team will help you select your perfect color palette and make sure your top turns out exactly the way you envision it. 🌈✨
Your $125 Registration Includes:
☀️ Four balls of Yarnalia Magic cotton yarn (a $48 retail value)
💰 15% off additional balls of Yarnalia Magic cotton yarn needed for your project ($2 savings per additional ball)
🧵 An exclusive Makeshift-designed printed pattern (a $12 retail value)
🪡 Two workshops - a kick-off class and a finishing class! ($80 value)
🎁 CAL-exclusive swag and goodies such as the garment measuring tape, collectable pin, sticker, and sew in label! ($30 value)
🌈 Personalized sizing, customization, and color-planning support (priceless)
🪡 Ongoing troubleshooting and 6 full weeks of community support throughout the project. If the store is open, there will always be a staff member there to help! (honestly also priceless)
✨ Access to a room full of people who will actually hold you accountable for finishing your garment every Sunday afternoon at 1:30! (can't put a price on camaraderie)
As part of the CAL, participants will also have the opportunity to register for an optional one-hour Kickoff Workshop on Sunday, June 21st at 2pm, 3pm, or 4pm. If you can't make this date, don't worry, we are always here to help if you just stop in the store! You will still be asked to select a time slot, just let us know by texting 303-351-2331 if you cannot make it!
During this session we'll cover:
🧶 Gauge swatching (for accountability reasons, obviously)
📏 Taking measurements and understanding fit
✨ Customizing your top for your body and style preferences
🌈 Choosing colors and planning your project
🪡 Setting yourself up for garment success before diving in
And unlike buying a pattern online and then immediately becoming overwhelmed by sizing charts, gauge math, and existential questions about fit, you'll have real support every step of the way from the Makeshift team and fellow participants.
This Crochet-A-Long is perfect for:
☀️ Crocheters ready to make their first garment
🌈 People who struggle finishing larger projects alone
🧵 Makers who want accountability and structure
✨ Anyone craving a cozy, social crafting experience
💖 People who want to proudly say "Thanks, I made it."
Because this is a made-to-measure project, you'll be able to customize fit, length, and styling details to create a top that feels genuinely wearable and personal, not mysteriously shaped like a crochet rectangle with emotional baggage.
Whether you wear your finished top to farmers markets, patio brunches, vacations, concerts, or your next visit to Makeshift, you'll leave with more than a finished garment. You'll leave with new skills, new confidence, and proof that yes, you absolutely can make wearables.
✨ Registration opens Sunday, May 31st at 10am. Seats are limited, and we expect this one to fill quickly!
