This is the second Michelle Tunic I made. I really like this fabric and I did make a change in the neckline.
I love the "flowing" feel of the sleeves.
My first tunic (in the last post) had a v-neck - but I found it difficult to do the bias strip "facing" - don't know what else to call it.
This one I changed to a kind of key hole - I think - I don't know what else to call it.
You can't see it too well in the photos but it is shaped like this. Much easier for me to do than a V.
Back view
Next up is a non StyleArc pattern (I can hear the screams from here!!!)
I will be using a poly chiffon with a border.
Then after that - back to my StyleArc addiction.

My goodness, your mojo is making up for lost time!
ReplyDeleteAnother great top - love the fabric choice.
ReplyDeleteFlowy = glamorous. That's how you look:)
ReplyDeleteYou are the Style Arc queen Beverley! Nice work on the top - I still can't believe how short a time you've been sewing, you handle these tricky fabrics so well
ReplyDeleteYou do look fab! Lovely top :)
ReplyDeleteLooking great!! Love that border print that's next on the agenda. And BTW, still lovin' the up do ;)
ReplyDeleteThe 'flowy-feel' sleeves would be so cool to wear at the moment ~ can see why you love this pattern ... J
ReplyDeletelove it.. This neckline is much better...and I know easier to put your bias tape around.. That fabric is gorgeous.. Happy sewing.
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing. I love the pattern and the pattern on the fabric too. Great colours on you!
ReplyDeleteLove this version of the tunic and your next choice with the border should be amazing! Quite the wardrobe you are making!
ReplyDeleteVery nice -- looks good with the Barbs too.
ReplyDeleteAnother great outfit! You are doing a great job with all that chiffon:)
ReplyDeleteWow - you are really cranking out the garments now, and the neckline looks great! I do like your next fabric choice - very pretty!

ReplyDeleteLooking good B! For the v-neck, I like to use Jalie's instructions: http://www.jalie.com/product_printing_guide/2805.pdf. It's step 4 of view C. While I've not tried it on a woven, it works great for knits.
ReplyDeleteYour top is lovely with beautiful fabric. Can't wait to see the next one.
ReplyDeleteOh, oh! Border print chiffon! Just one more reason we are separated at birth- I'm wearing a peach cami under a made top right now too- got to love my sheers!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you have managed a sheer fabric so well. Have to confess I avoid sheers, so fiddly to cut and sew.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful top and love your fabric choice. Good idea to change the neckline and I like this one a lot.
ReplyDeleteLove this top on you!
