It's tunic time....part five!

This tunic is probably the simplest one yet in my series, and the most comfortable!






I started with a men's hooded sweatshirt.  It was lightweight and super soft.


All I did was take in the sides,


shorten the sleeves,


and remove the hood!


To remove the hood, I cut it off leaving about 1 1/2" excess around the neckline.    


I then simply folded the cut edge to the inside, leaving about 1/2" for a faux binding.  I topstitched it in place along the existing topstitching.


To finish the inside, I carefully cut away the excess binding close to the stitching line.  Since this is a knit, there is no need to worry about fraying.


This tunic is so so comfortable that I'm on the hunt for more oversized, lightweight, super soft hoodies!


I like to link to these great parties!
