The Sneha Tunic

We’ve been dreading cleaning our closet for months, I thought I would just end up moving stuff from one place to another cause I would think I could make something else out of our old clothes.  A week ago my husband and I dove in and we filled up 7 – yes 7 garbage bags of clothes that we delivered to goodwill.  It felt soooo good!  So now we actually have empty drawers and hangers!

And what does that mean?  Well, of course I have to kick my sewing into high gear and fill up all that empty space — right?  But don’t tell my hubby I said that!!

It was a good thing Christina at Wardrobe by me needed testers for her new pattern – The Sneha Tunic.

As is to be expected from Wardrobe by me, it’s a great and versatile tunic pattern.  The pattern is designed with the option of symmetric or asymmetric hemline, lower body with dropping hemline or a lower body with less flare, 3 neckline options, fitted sleeve with 5 length options and tunic or dress lengths.  Phew – that’s a lot of different styles you can make!

First I made the longer length with the dropping symmetrical hemline and the scoop neckline.  I often blend to a bigger size at the hips but because of the flare in this pattern I just kept to a size 4 all over and the fit is great!

For this one I used light weight jersey bought from Stoff og Stil.

Since I had this great pattern and all that empty space in my closet I just had to make another one!

See totally different!

Here I did the shorter length and the less flared hemline but the same neckline.  Also a size 4.

For this one I used quilted jersey also from Stoff og Stil.  It is a much heavier fabric than the first one I made and it would probably not work so well with that option.  But with this option it worked for me and I got a nice and warm sweater.

Both of these came together fast and easy.  On the black one I just did rolled hem, so that one was really a fast sew.  I see many more of these in my future!

I think you should hurry up and get this pattern while it’s still on sale for $7!!

Love
