Awesome!
Wait this means I have to add silnylon to my stash, doesn’t it?
Thanks!
I haven’t, thanks for the link!
Yes the gusset works really well for movement. If you’re making use of every scrap it’s also good for longer thinner pieces that might not have another use. I think it’d look pretty cool in a contrasting colour too. (And if I had to make a garment bigger I might run a strip right from the end of the sleeve to the hem)
I have a family member who runs sewing workshops and she keeps all the scraps (serger threads, fabric bits too tiny to sew with) for filling living room poufs. It works really well for a dense and compact stuffing and apparently they’re nice to sit on.
She encourages students to make the pouf first then add sewing scraps to it as they work on other projects.
Here is the link for the YouTube tutorial I used for the sizing and basic shape of the tunic.
I think my sleeves and armscyes were too small because I went with an ungathered sleeve.
Here is the pattern I used for the skirt. I cut the pattern at the shortening line and then did a 1:2 gather for the tier which I cut at 14” (I’m 40” from waist to floor). I want to do one more tier but have to find the fabric!
