V8581 Tunics



Project Detail:

Pattern: V8581
Description: Tunics, has front and back upper gathers, neck binding, lower elastic casting and raglan sleeve variations.

Pattern Sizing: 8 -16. I cut the 12 size.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, it did with a one change!

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions were very easy to follow did not take long to make at all.

Fabric Used: Rayon /Knit a wonderful rich deep green from Joann’s.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Well I really did like this top and I will be
making it again in different colors with a couple of embellishments to them. Because of the sleeve variations short, ¾ and long I make them as the season change.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: After I made my sample / muslin I did extended the length of the front and back by 2 inches and I did not like the end of the sleeve so I did the change that to a flare cuff with elastic and the edge I did the edge stitch Love Love.

Would you sew it again? Yes and Yes soon

Would you recommend it to others? Yes!!! It was quick and easy and by changing one thing it became a Simple DIY.
