Birds Of A Feather Simplicity 1461
This is a quick post to show you my new tunic. I really like this pattern, I’m not sure if it’s the great shaping from the princess seams or what, but I like it! I have one more in the plans and I hope to get it done soon! I want to try my hand at adding some trim and maybe even a 3/4 sleeve. I reviewed this top here and here.
I used a Joel Dewberry Poplin precut (I HEART pre cuts) from Fabric Mart. The only change I made was to make the slit side seam view and shorten the front pattern piece four inches. I guess I like high low, because I make it a lot lol . The pattern on this fabric is so uncharacteristic of me and I love it! I wanted to see if I can use a fabric with a different pattern and make it work for me, I don’t have animals on my clothes at all lol.
What do you think of the fabric, what’s your go to tunic pattern?

The background color got me, wasn’t sure about the birds but I love it. Yay for precuts!

Love, love, love this! Did you buy this during Sew Camp? And I love the precuts from Fabric Mart too…
