I love tunics and fell in love with this one:
Parker Silk Tunic - But I did not like the price tag.
Pattern Description: Misses Tunics
Pattern Sizing: XSM- Medium. I made the small.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Y es, I looked them over before I got started.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I LOVE tunics so this pattern made me happy!
Fabric Used: Some type of poly blend that was $1.95 at Hancock.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I don't know if I will make it again but I do highly recommend it if you like this style top.

Everything you made is beautiful. they're nuts for charging over 150 dollars for that tunic! yours is cuter anyway.

Very cute tunic! I'm sure the bee was just trying to tell you the same thing! LOL

Your outfit is too cute! If I saw that on the rack, I would definitly buy it. I attempted sewing a couple of years ago and quickly lost patience. The patterns always threw me. How come someone as little as you had to make a size 14??!! If you're a 14, I'm a 52! lol BTW, as everyone else - love the shoes!
Posted by: Joy | July 20, 2010 at 11:46 AM
I love it!!!!

I really like the skirt and top you made. I have that very same top pattern (got it from Joann's Monday 99cent sale - yaay). Thanks for showing the casing too, I was kinda worried about it and was thinking on skipping that step. I gotta make mine by Tuesday, instructions seem pretty easy peasy:)
