I’m just getting started and perking along….I did manage to cut out the front part all wrong, but I just followed the directions backwards. I think it turned out OK even if it isn’t what was designed.

Now I’m at the point where I’m prepping the collar and attaching it. So excited to be doing this.

I’m slow, which is why I’m where I am in the…[Read more]

Test

The other day Tsia was off from school, and she wanted to make brownies. She went to the internet to find a recipe and came back with this one. I’m not sure where she found it.

1 1/4 cups Nutella

1/2 cup flour

All you need to do is mix the ingredients and pour them into a greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.

Hi Mimi,

Wow, I think that pattern has been out of print for a while now! Glad you found a copy.

I would suggest contacting Simplicity directly for the missing elements. They produced the pattern and will be able to tell you what to do or where to get what you need. Have fun with it!

Thank You! I tried attaching the photo, but I’m 0 for 2 today!

@bluebirdssinging Joanne, I found it! It’s this one right? http://www.bluebirdssinging.blogspot.com/2016/02/gallery-tunic.html I’ll pass that link onto the panelists as they will now be picking their favorite… Thanks for taking part and yours turned out lovely!

@bluebirdssinging Joanne, would you please share a link to your creation? Thank you!

Oops. Assumed I had till 11pm central to post pictures. Totally read that as add photos by midnight Friday Eastern time…guess it doesn’t specify that. : (

Oh well! I had fun! : )

I finally got my tunic finished and photographed for the link party/giveaway. I am very happy with how it came out overall. It’s super comfortable and pretty. I will definitely make this tunic again (but next the dress version). Thanks for the tips and photos!

Thanks for participating, @jessamyb! It’s really fun to see what everyone is doing with the pattern.

Thank you for all the tips tricks and advice in this sew along! I posted my second Tunic, and I was able to make an even better fitting version with all of your help!

Hi Kelley, We haven’t published measurements for the hip, but it would be very easy to determine the width at the spot where you need it by holding the pattern up to your body and finding where your widest part matches the pattern piece. Then measure the pattern pieces at that position, subtracting the 1/2″ seam allowance. My guess will be that…[Read more]
