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 :
Materials:
Stretch canvas fabric
Sewing machine
Measuring tape & ruler
Sewing thread & needle
Buttons & pins
Tailor’s chalk
Scissors
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
Diagrams: fold your fabric, remember to leave seam allowance.
Front:
Sleeves: short sleeves, mark the middle your sleeve and armpit line (pinned), face 2 right sides up then sew across.
Sewing order:
Use braces or single folded bias for necklines.
Sew shoulder lines together.
Sew sleeves.
Sew body lines then hemlines.
Pattern 2:
Feminine and trendy graphic Tunic top thanks to curve lines and round-wide neckline, add a bit more length when drafting, it can be worn as a Tunic dress.
Diagrams: fold your fabric, remember to leave seam allowance.
Front:
Sewing order:
Use braces or single folded bias for necklines.
Sew shoulder lines together.
Sew sleeve sides together.
Sew sleeves to shoulders.
