BWOF tunic top

Print Page

Description

This is from the 07/2008 Burda magazine. I really like the pattern but it is too wide for me and falls off my shoulders a bit. Next time I will bring it in and try a higher neck line maybe. I am happy with the result though because it is my first try with knit-stretch fabric.

Materials

Stretchy knit remnant.

Credits

Burda, and my sister for taking the photos!

Way to busy to sew, unfortunately..

I really like this style of top. I like the fabric choices - they look really good together. You look great!

I like your top - there is a lot of interest without being fussy. Stretch knit fabric scares me a little!

Crazy about sewing!

So pretty! I like the conjugation of fabrics! Very nice!

I know exactly what you mean about too wide. I just made a tank from McCalls 5388 that's pretty much exactly the same as this and took it in at least 2 inches on either side.

stoked about flickr up for swap!

I LOVE it. the fabrics are great- is the fabric of the yoke part a stretch-knit too? You did a fantastic job on this and you look great- go Husky! ;o) I'll have to give this one a go myself when that BWOF issue comes out over here.

waow that's super cute. I love this knit fabric and it contrasts perfectly with the printed fabric!

This top is totally cute -- I really like the yoke fabric and the contrast. Hey, when are you going to review your sewing machines for my website? (No pressure -- this post just reminded me!)
