Graphic Tunic tops

Graphic Tunic tops

Tunic is known for its’ loose and comfortable style, but if you know how to choose one that fits your body shape, it can be a great outfit to bring on your everyday fashionista style. Furthermore, drafting and making a totally fit Tunic for yourself is much more fun when you’re a sewist. Pick your favorite canvas fabric, that’s how you add a bit of urban and punk look to a simple Tunic. Here are two versions of graphic Tunic tops sewing patterns I’ve made :

Note: These patterns are for all-size, take your measurements and draft. The 2 sleeve diagrams are just your option, pick the type you want.

Pattern 1:

A straight and sporty type of graphic Tunic top. It would be cool to draft the back side with plain color fabric. Make it fun and stylish xD
