- Oksana Starzhynska
- My blog's main subjects are sewing, the thing in which I am experienced the most, and beadwork, which is, in fact, pushed me into blogging. I am also engaged in knitting and crocheting. All together they are the set of skills which I use to make my wardrobe my whole life. These are not my only interests, I also like the English language (that's one of the reasons that my blog is bilingual), try to travel around my country and abroad (when can afford it), am interested in art (to the degree of a dilettante but nevertheless) and adore the people who can create anything beautiful or useful whatever it is :-) So welcome to a needlecrafter diary!

One More Tunic, or East Trace IV
Accompanied with these thoughts I was looking for a pattern for a new tunic. Despite most of tunics have the same drafts with slight differences in length and widths this time I decided yet to justify the buying one of old issues and chose model #134 from Burda 9/2011. It is the first thing I sewed from that issue.
The pendant and the earrings were made for the tunic.
У супроводі таких думок я шукала модель для нової туніки і хоча всі туніки мають приблизно однакові креслення з невеличкими відмінностями в довжині та ширині, цього разу я вирішила виправдати придбання одного зі старих випусків і обрала модель 134 з Burda 9/2011. Це перша річ, яку я пошила з того числа.
Кулон і сережки були зроблені до туніки.
First of all my fabric is pretty dark. I liked the print but it surely needed some embellishment in order the outfit not to look too gloomy. So I found the remnants of silk to complement the main fabric.
По перше, тканина моя доволі темна. Мені сподобався візерунок, але він потребував декору, щоб вбрання не виглядало якимось безрадісним. Тож я знайшла клаптики шовку, щоб доповнити основну тканину.
Next idea concerned the facing. The given pattern is simple but it can be changed in any way to make it special. You can draw any shapes you like.
At first sew the shoulder seams of the tunic and the facing.
Then prepare the facing: baste the seam allowance along the outer edge. And then sew the facing to the blouse as usual but first put right side of the facing to the wrong side of the blouse, stitch, turn the facing, baste and stitch to the right side. Leave about 1-2 mm facing seen on the wrong side.
As I had a slit in the centre back, I basted the edges up to the neck hole. Then stitched the seam allowances and then removed the basting.
And the last - hemming. It is made exactly like in this dress. The difficulty is in curvy corners. So at first fold and baste the hem allowance (here it is 1.5 cm). Then in the curvy parts (pink dots on the photo) either stitch with long stitches or baste with tiny ones and pull the thread. Then fold the hem allowance one more time but for 0.5 cm and stitch. It will be neat and nice.
