Thursday’s top is a tunic style made from New Look #6179. It’s sewn from a cotton woven fabric making it different from the knit tops that I normally wear, but I like it! I went by the measurements on the back of the pattern rather than the RTW size that I normally wear. I would normally purchase a size 10, but measurements had me make a size 12 in this pattern, and it fits really nicely. I did add some length to it because I like longer shirts, but I failed to flare the bottom enough and had to cut off some of my added length so that it would fit at the hips. Overall, I’m happy with it–I think I’d like to try making another one from cotton jersey!

I think I will need another tutorial session–on making tops this time. I’m sure that would teach me lots more about stitches and trouble shooting. I’ve had so many compliments on my purse. It’s fun to say “oh thanks. I made it last week.” 🙂 (and then give your info, of course!)
