Finished, finally! I cut out this tunic and did the embroidery at the same time I did the white tunic. I had every intention of sewing both up right after one another. And then it got cold - I mean brrr cold. So I didn't bother with the red tunic, what's the point?But now we've had warm weather since last Friday and I decided to cross this off my list. I made a tiny change - added 1/4" at mid-armscye, blending in at shoulder and side seam. Both the white tunic and the black shirt had some wrinkles in that area when I stood straight and pushed my shoulders back. The extra 1/4" fixed it.
On my monitor, the color looks like it has an orange undertone. In reality, it's a beautiful true red. I think it is a Brussels Washer (linen/rayon blend) but it may be linen/cotton. I don't remember. What I do remember is that I'd bought it last August to make a tunic for an early September trip to Orlando but never got around to sewing it up. I'm glad the fabric has finally made a transition from the fabric stash closet to the wardrobe closet.

To je pekné, len si to nedones na Slovensko, lebo to tu nebudeš môcť nosiť! =)
I love your tunic! Great details in the design, and of course the embroidery makes it so special.
So pretty! That embroidery really makes it a standout.
