This is View A in tunic length and it was made from the final version of the pattern. I used a nice chambray from the Gertie line at Jo-Ann, I had been holding on to it for way too long, it was time for it to be used. The fabric worked great for the pattern. I even found the perfect gray thread in my stash that blended in perfectly.
During testing Adrianna posted an up close shot, I think she was talking about the collar, but we all admired her perfectly straight stitching. So the conversation of an edge stitching foot came up, I realized I had bought one probably a year ago meaning to try it on an Archer, but that Archer was never made and the foot never tried out.
I should have tried it sooner, the foot is amazeballs.
I am 5'4" and think this is the perfect length for the tunic. I am not a leggings kind of gal, but I love wearing this with my skinny jeans.
The pattern includes a 5/8" seam allowance and has written the instructions to include french seams. Of course the pattern can be made without FS, but seeing all these enclosed seams just makes my inner sewing nerd sing with joy.
The pattern also includes a collar with a collar stand. This happened to be my first pattern to ever have a collar stand so I was a little intimidated, but it was so easy!
This is the shirt length and was an earlier version of the pattern. Everything stayed the same, except an additional 2" ease was added to the hips.
The pattern also has another view with different style collar and a partial placket, also included is a long sleeve with a placket. I am excited to give another view/option a shot! I love that there can be so many looks in the same pattern!
I think this is going on my wish list (it's not long sleeve weather for me for a while yet) - I love that there are two collar views. Looks great in that chambray ;o)
