Sewing

Made a hand sewn tunic with no pattern using a YouTube tutorial (I’ll post the link below when I track it down).

Unfortunately the armscyes were too small. I decided to make a gusset that extended down the full length of the sleeve. I may actually do this purposefully for future projects, because I like the comfort and the finish of the double seam.

Another thing I did for this project, which was a bit masochistic, was after thread pulling I used the pulled threads to sew the whole thing together. That’s why the thread colour matching is downright perfect.

I used the smallest size of pattern from jumpsu.it to scale down to a toddler size based on my kid’s measurements. Learned a lot about pattern resizing in the process!

It was still a bit snug around his middle but he got to wear if for a couple weeks.

Red standard cotton twill.
