Confession time. I've done no crafting since my surgery. Oh, the guilt! So it felt like time to get my craft back on. I've had some pattern pieces for a sewing project all cut out and sitting in a basket for two months now. Today felt like a good day to whip it together.
Presenting the Schoolhouse Tunic...
I really liked how this turned out. I can see myself actually wearing it in my actual life. (Always a plus when you make a garment.) I'm especially relieved at the result, because I used some spensy Japanese fabric called Nani Iro. The double gauze fabric is really unique and fun to sew with. And I think it gives my tunic a nice little drape.

You know, I forgot how much I like this craft thing.

I bought this pattern and some material for it ages ago but never got around to making it. I think I might sew it up to take to Europe in March. Yours looks fantastic!
It looks so great!! I've had this pattern sitting on my shelf for almost a year now...you may have inspired me to break it out!
It looks so artsy, Kara, that you must wear it when you sit down to write your novel. I am sure it will provide more inspiration faster than you can write it all down!
Absolutely Love it! And you look fabulous Dah-ling!
Wonderful project and post!
Super cute! I'm going to have to look into double gauze. The stuff at my local store just isn't cutting it any more.

I can't believe you have not been crafting every day since your surgery! For shame! Love the tunic, love the fabric. Hope you are feeling better.
I was just thinking *I* needed to make a tunic for spring! Love the color on you!

Absolutely darling on you!
i love that fabric and the pattern as well...it looks awesome! and i think it will look great on a bike! :)
Oooo! LOVE it! Makes me wish that I had more time for sewing (and if I didn't do alterations all day I might be more inclined to make the time). Looks great on you too. I bet it will be wonderful for the spring.
