So Sew Easy
Easy Tunic Tutorial
This is a tunic that is so easy to make that you will want to make many in different colors. This pattern would make
a good project for those looking for their first garment.

The only slightly tricky part is applying bias tape to the v-neck which is why we’ve created a separate tutorial on
that to make sure anyone and everyone can succeed at this project.

This tunic has a very loose fit, is very easy to make and easy to wear. Dress it up or down to be perfect for any
occasion. This tunic makes an awesome mini dress if you make it a couple sizes too big.

To print your PDF pattern

Your pattern pieces come at the end of these instructions. For accurate
printing, please make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Reader.
You can download the latest version here if you need to.

Select File → Print and the print dialogue box opens. Under Page Sizing and
Handling, select ACTUAL SIZE . Check the preview in the right hand side
illustration. Select the page numbers you want to print. You can print the
whole document, or just the pattern pieces.

On the edge of the top left page is a box you can use to test your printing. This
box should measure 2 inches square. If yours is wildly different you will need
to check your printer options to make sure the pages are not being resized.

Use the grey guides on the overlap of the sheets to match up the pattern
pieces, folding under or cutting off any overlaps, tape together and cut out
your pattern pieces.

Also note that you will need to cut two straps at 4 inches by 22 inches, for
which no pattern piece is supplied – it’s just a rectangle! You can draw the
straps on the reverse of your fabric to cut.

3. Apply Bias Tape to the V-neck

Please visit our tutorial on how to learn the easy way to apply bias tape to a v-neck for a more comprehensive look at this technique.

Pin the bias on the right side of the fabric. Start at the shoulder seam when you get to
the V mark a point straight down from V with of the seam of your bias tape.

Sew the tape to that point and pivot your fabric and continue sewing the tape around
the neck.

Pin the bias tape all around the neck and sew following the crease of the first fold of
your bias tape.

Iron the tape and all seams of the neckline upward. This will make it easier for you to
sew the other side more accurately.

Cut a small notch at the point of the V-neck but stop about 3mm from the seam.

Sew the bias tape all around the neck on the right side of the tunic. Be very careful to
sew on the tape close to the edge making sure you catch the back side of the tape.

Turn the tunic inside out and fold the neckline in half. You will sew a small stitch line
to make the bias tape take the shape of a V and the neckline lie flat.

4. Finishing Your Easy Tunic

Sew the sides starting at the sleeves. Finish the seams by zigzag or using your serger. While you are at the serger, serge the sleeves and the hem.
Fold the hem of the sleeves by 5/8″ and sew.

Fold the hem 1/2″ then another 1/2″ and sew. Press all seams after sewing and you are done!

In four easy steps we have done a very easy but super attractive tunic. This tunic is perfect for running errands and when you need to run out of
the house in a hurry. Add some jewelry and heels and you are ready for lunch with the girls or a pair of leggings for a walk in the park.

Fun Variation

If you need more room at the bottom of the tunic because you have a pear shape body, sew the sides leaving a 10″ gap at the bottom. However,
this means you will have to hem the front and bottom separately.
