Don\u2019t forget our Gallery Tunic + Dress sew-along<\/a> takes place February 15th-19th! Haven\u2019t gotten your Gallery Tunic + Dress pattern yet? No worries, it\u2019s just a click away in paper<\/a> or in digital<\/a> format.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kristi is joining our talented panel. In the past, she stopped by with her tutorials on lengthening the Sunny Day Shorts pattern<\/a> and adding a thumbhole sleeve<\/a>, and now she is sharing her plans for the Gallery sew-along. Take it away Kristi!<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi, I\u2019m Kristi. I knit and sew for my family, and am building my own handmade wardrobe one garment at a time. You can find my finished work, and a link to my knitting patterns at SweetKM<\/a>. If you\u2019d rather see work in progress, and boneheaded mistakes check out my Instagram<\/a> or Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to sew the Gallery Tunic along with the Liesl + Co. community. I gave the Gallery Tunic pattern as a gift last Christmas, and have been meaning to make one for myself ever since. I\u2019m happy to have a reason to bump it to the top of my sewing queue.<\/p>\n

My fabric selection for this project is based on colors I wear a lot: blue and gray. I\u2019m using cotton lawn from Liesl\u2019s Woodland Clearing Collection<\/a> for my Gallery Tunic. I think the wispy brush strokes of the print, and the lightness of the fabric are perfect for the relaxed fit of the tunic. The pale blue, subtly textured cotton on top will add a little interest to the placket on the inside. I\u2019m planning to make the tunic version of the pattern with long sleeves and a collar. I might shorten the front length by a couple of inches, and lower the front opening a bit. Otherwise, I\u2019ll make the pattern as specified.<\/p>\n

This top will work perfectly with my daily uniform of jeans and cardigan. As you can see from the conspicuously placed hank of yarn, I have a cardigan on the needles that just so happens to work with this color scheme.<\/p>\n

Well, those are some big plans! Time to get sewing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
