We hope you will join us next week when we will be hosting one. This pattern was very well received <a title=\"introducing the cappuccino dress and tunic\" href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/blog\/2014\/03\/introducing-the-cappuccino-dress-and-tunic.html\">when it was released<\/a> almost a year ago. The flattering v-neckline, those cool almost-hidden inseam pockets, and the loose fit are all very appealing.<\/p>\n<p>Today we\u2019re introducing the sew-along. We\u2019ll cover the fabric and supplies you\u2019ll need to make your dress or tunic. There\u2019s also a little photo round-up to offer a bit of inspiration. After that, you\u2019ll have some time to buy your pattern and all of the supplies you might need before we kick off the project. You can sew a little each day, or the posts will be up indefinitely if you decide that you want to sew your dress or tunic at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/CappuccinoSewalong.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-43329\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/CappuccinoSewalong-523x800.jpg\" alt=\"Cappuccino Sewalong\" width=\"523\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cappuccino Dress + Tunic Description<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This easy-going pullover can be made in two lengths\u2014as a tunic or dress.
