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.
Here is the link for the YouTube tutorial I used for the sizing and basic shape of the tunic.
I think my sleeves and armscyes were too small because I went with an ungathered sleeve.
Thank you for the link! That looks really interesting and I’ll have to check it out.
Btw your patience to use the thread from the fabric to sew the tunic… Amazing!!!
