Tunic Tops

These are some hand-sewn tops I made in 2015, from a simple boxy pattern I took from a RTW top I already had.  They're easy to make, but not terribly attractive to wear.  They fit like hospital scrubs. 

BASIC WHITE TUNIC TOP

White tunic top with facing embroidered down

Close up of collar to show facing

The facing is held in place with a simple running stitch in swirly patterns.

YELLOW STRIPED TUNIC TOP

I fell in love with this sweet fabric at a vintage store! It reminds me of a nightgown I had as a child.

I experimented with hemming the edges first and then whip-stitching them together at the side seams. Very sturdy!

The slit at the bottom of the side seam. Notice the re-enforcing stitches at the end of the seam?
