Camp shirt into tunic. Because despite my absolute loathing of camp shirts, I have a fitted camp shirt pattern. And because this particular camp shirt pattern fits me perfectly. And I mean, per.fect.ly. Um. Because Marta Alto fitted it for me. That’s pretty much the only reason why.
But still. Camp shirt. Into tunic. I can totally do it! You just watch.
No. Really. I can.
Quit looking at me like that.
Seriously, don’t believe me? This tunic is actually a camp shirt with gathers instead of darts. Right? Right. Rotate the darts and convert them to gathers and add some width to the front and back bodice for flowiness, remove the collar and draft a facing instead, change the button placket to a center-seamed opening with ties, extend and add some flair to the sleeves… do some smocking….
Easy-peasy mac-and-cheesy. As TLo says.
Quit looking at me like that.
