5729 - women's tunic Pattern Description
Loose-fitting three armhole tunic with rounded neckline and purchased fold over braid. Optional patch pocket, self tie belt. Which view and size did you make?
Tunic w/ patch pocket and self belt: 12 1/2 Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
- Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
- What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Using the fold over braid is a classic late sixties/ early seventies touch and the pattern is easy enough for beginners like me! Fabric used
Linen/cotton print from JoAnn's and cotton FOB Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
Didn't make any, but I would make it a tad shorter next time. I would also lower the neckline a tiny bit. Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
Finding FOB is tricky these days. I would turn the hem next time and use piping or bias binding for the contrast.
