The Clean Line Tunic

One of my best customers asked for a tunic for her daughter for Christmas day, and despite being crazy busy with orders, I managed to squeeze it in today.

As her daughter is a bit older, she preferred a non-elasticated neckline so I kept it simple and clean with a bound edge with polkadot binding. The binding has a lovely crochet edge. I did the same for the sleeve edges.

The back has a single button and loop closure with a coordinating green button.

Christmas orders have been oh-so-busy but I'm probably closing up shop tonight to give me time to make things for my family. Today was hopefully my last trip to the post office! Which is just as well as the post office this week has given me Hulk Rage.

  2. Hi

    This tunic is gorgeous! I bet the girl who receives this will be ever so pleased. I just wondered...do you have any tips on how to sew on binding? I always end up with it uneven.
    Have a lovely evening.
    Best wishes,
