@blacktabi: Oh, too bad! If you can carefully unpick the dart and shorten it a bit I think it will be fine. The darts do look a bit long in your photo. I hope it works. Double gauze is such a beautiful (and somewhat expensive) fabric–it would be nice if you could fix it. Keep us posted, will you?

@lexilouwho, you can absolutely leave it sleeveless! A bias facing is a great way to finish a sleeveless armhole. I would only suggest that you check to be sure the armhole will be the right size–often when you make something sleeveless it’s a good idea to raise the underarm a bit so it’s not too revealing. I hope that helps.

Hi @Jessamyb, sorry for the silence! I’m not familiar with Pellon 906F, but for most fabrics (including double gauze) I use the lightest interfacing I can find. Many stores carry something that’s featherweight or called something similar, and sometimes you can even find silk chiffon fusible interfacing. The important thing to remember is that the…[Read more]

I’m excited that we’ve reached the point where I can more easily try on pieces of the tunic. I loved this placket consteuction on the lullaby layette, so I’m excited to see it here!

I noticed something unanticipated last night. When doing the FBA, I didn’t think to account for the pleat in the front when the placket is sewn, so my darts that…[Read more]

Great photos Brittney! Thanks for sharing them! I’m looking forward to seeing all of your finished tunics and dresses.

Happy Wednesday! Day 3 is now up!

I want to leave my tunic sleeveless. My plan was to simply finish the arms with single fold bias. Will that work?

Thank you for that photo in Step 7! I wish I was better at visualizing these things from the words alone, but my mind seems to need those visual aides!

Hi! This is my first time participating in a sew along, however, it will be my second Gallery Tunic. I was hoping you could give a recommendation/share what type of interfacing you typically use for the placket/collar/cuffs. The interfacing I used on my first tunic was definitely too stiff (I don’t remember exactly what it was!). I have Pelion…[Read more]
