Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I sewed this in my usual size using a leather-like knit. Unfortunately the fabric has very little stretch and no drape so it doesn’t fit. But that’s ok, it’ll fit someone down at the charity shop.

Pattern: Burda 03/2009 Tunic 103
Fabric: Leather-like knit.

I think it fits pretty well, and it’s definitely very well made.

I honestly think it looks great on you. You could also style it with a belt or something. But just this way, I really like it on you.
