Good day, all!
Did everyone get tons of sewing prep done this weekend?! I know I did!
Let's jump right in! My KCW posts are going to be short and sweet - I work full-time and usually take all my blog photos on the weekend, so these are going to be over-edited, early morning iPhone pics, k? K. :)
This is the Little Pleated Tunic by one of my all-time favorite pattern designers, Heidi & Finn.
Except in lieu of the center pleat, I cut the bottom pattern piece just about in the middle, and spread it apart about 2-3 inches to add side gathers. Like so:
The fabric is a delicious ivory linen (I think it's a blend though - doesn't winkle as hardcore as 100% linen - hooray). I bought this fabric at Joann's last summer! They often have stuff just like this though... Linens or 'linen-look's. It's such a dream to sew with.
I love how right now it's a dress, but it will grow with her all summer, and probably be a top NEXT summer! Excellent!
Ok, happy sewing all! Gotta go!

ReplyDeleteIt does look perfect on her! I agree that their "linens" are easy to use. I've made a few skirts for myself with them.
