Description

At first time I didn’t know what to do with this fabric: orange, wool-like texture and it seems to be “itchy” but I started to play with my sewing machine and a black thread, then I found a brown bias tape that pop out over that plain orange fabric so I attached it with a zigzag stitch and I kind of painted a contemporary and random design with the stitch and the bias.
After all that crazy creation I loved my fabric!!! and that’s the story..the tunic came just as the cold weather started.

Material Notes

Wool-like stretch fabric Thread in a contrasting color Bias tape or ribbon

    It’s simple and yet unique! And I love bright colours in colder weather – the usual greys, black and browns can sometimes get depressing and then – YAY! – a splash of such orange brings a smile onto my face!

    I was just looking at all my winter tops and thinking how boring no pattern…you just solved my wardrobe issues. Thanks for the inspiration and your top looks great!!

    This is very creative and I may have to save my boring tunic with your technique. I began a lime jersey tunic ages ago with long sleeves a boat neck and deep cut back… but it ended up being too much green all over so i never finished.

    do you have any close up pics of your bias tape detail for reference?
