third time's a charm...

i used another malong to make this schoolhouse tunic. it fits, i love the pattern and colors... i just love everything about it!! it's a great dress that i will put to good use as the seasons transition. this will most likely be the only picture with me in it... hopefully! :)

schoolhouse tunic #2

the first sew liberated schoolhouse tunic i made was a sample for the needle shop. so, i made it to fit the mannequin. i think it was a 2/4 aka too tiny for me.

so, i made another one in cloud 9 monsterz fabric designed by michele brummer everett.

i made it in "my size" aka i was lazy and didn't make a muslin. and although i could/can get the garment on and it fits. it's uncomfortable. so, this tunic now resides in paloma's closet. :( lucky duck. :)

i did make another one for me, the next size up.... stay tuned...
