I finished my tunic over the weekend!

The pattern is Men's Tunic from Wardrobe By Me. The fabric is an extremely thin linen rayon blend my local fabric store called Blueberry Dreams. The fabric weight is surrealistically thin, and the drape is extremely fluid.

I've legitimately never had a shirt that felt this luxurious. It should be a welcome addition in the broiling weather.

As an aside, this was the most difficult shirt I've made yet easily. I attribute this to two factors:

  • The fabric having such a fluid drape is crazy. It's like trying to stitch water together sometimes.
  • I have come to dislike fusible interfacing because of the puckered texture it often gets during washing. This uses a Pellon branded sew in interfacing, and is my first time using such interfacing. It worked amazingly well, but was an adjustment for sure.

Ultimately I intend to ask my fabric store more about this particular fabric and what other colors it may be available in. It's just so glorious to wear.
