{"product_id":"folkwear-131-tibetan-chupa","title":"Folkwear 131 Tibetan Chupa","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eBuy the 131 Tibetan Chupa sewing pattern from Folkwear. This wrapped dress has a centuries-long history in Tibet. It is traditionally worn with added layers of aprons, woollen sashes, and a panel coat. Worn alone or with a top, the Chupa is a beautiful contemporary garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chupa features an asymmetrical wrap front, front and back shaping darts, a wide neckband, and simple faced armholes. Unique side extensions wrap around the back to tie in front. The resulting silhouette is slim, yet the extensions enable enough leg room to make walking easier than in most wrap skirts. Both the Chupa and Chupa-inspired wrap skirt can be made in the traditional ankle length or below the knee length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/how-to-buy-sewing-patterns\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop\u003c\/strong\u003e (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
