This digital video course will walk you through sewing the Jill Tunic. You will need to purchase the pattern separately. The printed pattern is here, with full size pattern pieces included. Or you can purchase the PDF pattern for an AO paper file here (you will need to take the PDF to a print shop). The Jill Tunic is a flowy, hippie, comfy tunic pattern made for all levels of Sewists. It has lots of ease but doesn't look sloppy. Amazing! We've made this in an inclusive size range from XS to XXXL, but due to its ease, it can work for sizes outside of that range as well. This sewing pattern has 4 pieces (sleeve, front bodice, back bodice, and bottom panel). The sleeve is slightly belled, and lands just past the elbow. This is easily shortened if you prefer. The empire-ish bodice hides tummies and is super comfy. Lifetime access to the video is included - simply log in to your account to view any courses purchased. Jill was inspired by my friend Jill. She asked me to reconstruct a fave top she owned, and so I did. It took me months and months, lots of testing, teaching a class, and more, to bring it to you here. Please do not be scared if you've never sewn a garment before. Most of the fear is from a fear the garment won't be perfect. Let me break it to you - it won't be perfect!!! I've been sewing garments forever, and none of mine are "PERFECT." It doesn't matter- they are good enough to wear, nobody notices booboos, and I feel happy in them. Stop being so hard on yourself, and just go for it! Please make a toile to check fit before cutting into expensive fabric. PLEASE wash your fabrics and dry them before cutting out the pattern. Fabrics recommended: RAYON RAYON BLENDS like Brussels Washer LINEN Lawn and Voile will work but will stand out from the body as they are light and airy rather than drapey. Stable knits are good too, but make a toile first as the sizing "could" change for you. I don't recommend quilting cotton unless you want to look like a tent. 😂😂😂 I mean, it's a vibe, so YOU DO YOU! Sizes: XS-XXXL This covers size 0 (off the rack) to 32. 2 yards of fabric are required; 3 yards is safer. You do not need a serger to sew clothes. Use your home sewing machine with a zig zag stitch or a straight stitch, cut out the fabric with pinking shears, and just do it. Show more
