I found them a bit confusing, at least verbally, in the directions, and I found myself futzing a lot with my first version. The next versions I did my own thing. I will say, the strip given for the pattern piece fits perfectly in the woven neckline but I did mine differently. As often is the case, a bit hard to describe here but I think on my next Eureka, and more are coming, I will do a blog post on how I do mine. Thanks for asking.

I use a bias strip with a 1/4" seam but still have a bit of "ruffling" on my inner edge. <br /><br />Thank you for your generous heart!<br />Lisa, San Francisco Bay AreaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-91586355130818133802022-07-22T12:33:23.613-04:002022-07-22T12:33:23.613-04:00I'm so glad you're back!

As for tunics, I learned lesson so many years ago when pregnant with twins from a maternity-store saleswoman who told me to avoid long tunic tops that ended below the belly. She had me wear styles that stopped just above my my belly button. The proportion was so much better, I wasn't cut in half. I adopted that proportion for loose tops ever since.Duchessehttp://passagedesperles.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-56496812085535522052022-07-22T08:13:10.192-04:002022-07-22T08:13:10.192-04:00So nice to have you back.

Pulling threads in the top is a unique thought…love it! And, wouldn’t it be fun to have matching hats for out tops? As I get older, my scraggly hair has more hat days than not!🥹.

I love the bohemian style. The knotted cord details may not show up from far away, but they are the type of interesting detail it is fun to discover when admiring the tunic up close.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-1297468179112322212022-07-21T15:51:09.712-04:002022-07-21T15:51:09.712-04:00Welcome back!
