Along with my Amy Butler tunic pattern {which I still haven't tackled yet}, I had picked up this McCalls tunic pattern last spring and finally got around to making it.
I chose a simple black cotton...
The pattern indicated "easy" which it was for the most part, except for the neck facing which was a little more finicky but overall it wasn't too difficult.
I ended up sewing down the pleats a bit to keep them from puffing out and I added a ruffled ribbon trim around the bodice.
I ended up taking in the sleeves afterwards since they felt a bit like wings and I'm much happier with the narrower silhouette.
I'm glad I finally got it done! It's been quite a long time since I've actually sewn a piece of clothing. Have you sewn anything lately?
