\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Good morning! I had a productive weekend including consigning some fabric at the stash place<\/a> I’ve mentioned before<\/a> and organizing K’s room. How was yours? I have quite a few thoughts on the stash place which was so very interesting, and will expand on them at a later date!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For today, I have yet another tunic for you – with my class coming up, I’ve been “practicing” to be able to provide clear instructions so I’ve been making this tunic over and over. It’s a good thing K loves this style!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, I always like to try things a little differently, so instead of a facing, I tried a bias binding for the neckline. I know that just rocked your world, it’s such a significant modification. I actually think the bias binding looks too pucker-y, and wish I had stuck with the facing. Oh well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the ever popular Anna Maria Horner voile (Little Folks Pastry Line). Such a charming fabric! I purchased it forever and half ago, and though I love voile, I find that I have a hard time getting wrinkles ironed out, and it was very uncooperative when it came to button holes, so I just added snaps.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These tunics are the best. And when it’s made in K’s favorite color, is comfortable and stylish, well…you can’t go wrong. The pattern is from this book<\/a>, and because the largest size for this book is 120cm, I better get cracking on all the patterns I haven’t tried yet. K will be outgrowing this size soon! I suppose I should also learn how to grade up…<\/p>\n

Incidentally, K whipped up that little ribbon wand as a prop. It’s made out of a chopstick and some discarded ribbon from a gift. Resourceful, that girl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also made a 90cm (approximately 3T) in a beautiful natural linen with embroidered brown polka dots as a sample for the store<\/a>\u00a0– it is so stinking cute:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I painted a li’l illustration last week, but realized I haven’t shown you my very first attempt at covered buttons. It got a bit hairy at some points, and I wouldn’t call them stellar, but I love the way they look with the tunic. Happy, happy!<\/p>\n
