The second tunic in this series was just about as easy as the first one. I started with a crop top that had a nice lace edging, and a long, pleated skirt.
I put on the crop top and determined how long I wanted my finished tunic to be.
I cut off the bottom half of the skirt to the predetermined length, retaining the original hem.
I carefully pinned all of the pleats in place and serged along the top edge of the skirting before attaching it to the top.
I was fortunate that the width of the skirting was already the width of the top, so no adjustments were necessary.
I then pinned the right side of the pleated skirt to the wrong side of the crop top at the point where the lace edging met the t-shirt fabric.
I topstitched the pleated skirt to the top, stitching along the top edge of the lace edging. For modesty, I also stitched a strip of the skirt fabric to the back side of the lace that ran down the front of the top.
I love the flowiness of this top! Although, it made for some fun times trying to photograph at the windy Oregon coast!
Stay tuned for more tunics!
I like to link to these great parties!
Love this!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jessi!
DeleteThis turned out so cute. Great idea! Especially when tunics can be hit or miss and you want to cover your bum in skinny jeans or leggings. I'm inspired. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! This one actually turned out a little longer than I had expected. I thought about redoing it to make it a little shorter, but in the end, I decided I kind of liked the extra length. That's the nice thing about refashioning...customizing!
DeleteAH-DOR-A-BLE!!!! I love how you are wearing it with a jeans jacket, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Beth, you're so sweet! I always value your opinion! (My favorite look is with the jacket, also!)
DeleteAnother beautiful tunic!!! I loved the last one too. You are so motivating!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb! I'm glad that these posts are motivating. I'd love to see pictures of any tunics you create!
DeleteTeamed with the denim jacket and skinny jeans, this is an awesome outfit, and one I'd feel very comfortable wearing.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, I've showcased your beautiful tunic...
DeleteThanks, Pam!!
DeleteJust another proof that modesty can be super cute too! This gives me ideas for some of those pretty crop tops that I wouldn't otherwise wear. I feel a thrift store trip coming on.
ReplyDeleteAwesome...I'm glad you feel inspired! I hope you find some great things to refashion. Let's give those crop tops a new, modest life!!
