When Jenilyn asked me to try out her Abigail Tunic pattern, I had just been going through my stash and had found this super soft, silky peach skin fabric from Girl Charlee I’d been saving. It was a perfect match!
So, I whipped up a top for my Natalie who seems to be growing out of all her tops lately. She’s a skinny minnie, but keeps getting taller!
A tunic was just was the seamstress ordered. The fit is easy, and the tunic will help it last a little longer.
The fabric is a little light for our brisk winter weather, but it layers well. Nat is so tiny, we hardly used any fabric, so I still have a lot leftover for…me? 🙂 We shall see. I have more peach skin fabric from Girl Charlee that I have been hoarding as well, that I’m excited to sew.
It can be a bugger to sew, but it’s a dream to wear.
So, so, SO soft… And silky. It was tricky to get it to just lay flat on the hanger. It just kept slipping this way and that. 🙂
It slides on perfectly when worn though and it moves great. I think I’ll have to use it to make something with twirl next time.
