A while ago I bought the “Linda” tunic pattern from Angela Wolf patterns. I knew it would be versatile and relatively easy to make. Well, so far, I’ve made it three times using different materials and with different alterations. It is a pattern I definitely love and will be using more and more.
Above is the first version of the tunic I made. The only variation on this is the short sleeve. I used a polyester blend for this that’s lightweight so it has a nice drape to the fabric.
This went together very quickly and easily.
The second one was a dress I made using the same pattern but extending the length about 15 inches and evening out the hem (so it wouldn’t be a high-low hem).
I used cotton eyelet and lined it with solid cotton fabric since I didn’t want the dress to be see-through. The neck and arm openings are finished with binding and the collar was eliminated for this one.
Last was this yellow top made the same as the blue, but the next size up.
This is made from cotton gauze. Gauze is a nice material to use for summer because it’s a breezy fabric for hot days.
So, if you’re looking for an easy top that can be made from different materials in different ways, I would definitely recommend this top. There are so many variations that it is almost unlimited.
Until next time…
