i had planned to make another one of these tunics for such a long time {i made the first one way back in 2010} in that time they have also printed this pattern book in english - having just got the hang of using the japanese version i was happy to stick to that {but i am ever so pleased it looks like we'll be able to get more japanese pattern books with english translation} this was made with some 'ladder dot' in black from denyse schmidts 'chicopee' collection, brought from the lovely 'm is for make' i didn't change much second time around except for missing out the interfacing on the collar & placing the pockets further out, i'm really happy with how it turned out {again} & am sure this will get plenty of wear

  1. That looks stylish and really comfy at the same time - perfect combo! And the fabric is *fabulous*, I love the random dots. I'm still sewing straight lines only, dressmaking is a looong way off...Cx

  2. Yep! I'm in love with that. You can get so much wear out of those items of clothing - on it's own, with leggings, with flared jeans for the 70's look. I love it. better than my tunic that was a disaster see my blog...Jo x

  4. Love the dress, looks really comfortable but much smarter than jeans! I have made 4 dresses recently, I say made, they are all almost finished. Must get the sewing machine out again. Nice to see you blogging again. x
