Sewing is therapy for me. I hoard fabric, patterns, notions, and spend more time shopping for fabric than I care to admit...

McCall's 7543 More tunic love!

I love this pattern.  This is my 2nd go at it and I think I love the sheer simplicity of it even more now than I did the first time I made it.  Here is my first make:

There is just something about how this fits on my shoulder area that makes me smile!

Obviously my first version was view B and this time I made the sleeves of D and the shaped hem of C in a tunic length.  


I used a very lightweight denim from JoAnns.  This has been in my stash for a bit and I decided to just make this as I've seen so many cute denim tops lately.


See what I mean about how it fits on my shoulder/upper arms?  It doesn't slide down nearly as far as the pattern model does and that is just fine with me!  



I honestly don't mind that it dips lower in the back than it does the front and no, I am not wearing it backwards. 



I do like the elasticized cuff with this one.  Although those little ties on view B are super cute.  I didn't have enough fabric to make that version.  


I love this tunic.  It is the perfect showcase for my jewelry!  

Thanks for reading!
