Tunics....

Here are a couple of tunics that I made at Sewjourn last weekend (see previous post)
 I used one of Rachel's patterns from Ottobre which was actually a 'Top' pattern.
I made it wider in the centre front to make my gathers/pleats for a bit of interest, and just made the hem longer and a bit wider. I think they both turned out really well. I wasn't sure about the slinky fabric in the photo above, but once made it feels great.
 Rachel gave me this textured black knit fabric (gee, I'm a free loader aren't I?)
She didn't like it, I really liked it. But it turned out much harder to work with than I imagined. I had to unpick the arm and neck bindings umpteen times to get the fit right.
But, overall I am very happy with it, you can see the texture in the pic above.

You can see I've been making good use of my new 'Ruffler' foot can't you!
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend, Kathryn. xx
