I was given some gorgeous Nigerian fabric by a friend of mine a little while ago and it has been sitting in my fabric stash being sadly neglected. So I decided to have a pinterest search for some inspiration. I have a board on there called stitchspiration and seem to pin many things on there but not actually create any of them. I set to work making this fab tunic top which I have had on there a while back. The picture on pinterest looked super easy and it really did take me only about an hour to complete.
Here is the link so do pop across and like, follow or comment on this blog it is fab!
Here is my finished project
What do you think? I like the shape and the fit is good but there are a few things I would change for me. I think I will adapt the sleeves on this top as they feel a little big to me - I will probably just create more of a defined sleeve. The other thing I will do if I make this again is make the bottom flare out a bit more into a bit of a dress style. Those things really are just personal preference though! This is definitely a pattern I would recommend - especially if you are new to making clothes it is so simple!
Send me your pictures of how you get on!
