Striped Ruffle Tunic

Striped Ruffle Tunic

Nut #2 has outgrown a couple of the cute shirts I made her at the beginning of the year.  So I whipped up a tunic for her.  It was a bit risky since I never know what she’ll like.  However, she really likes it! I started with the New Horizon Designs Deer Creek Tunic bodice pieces and extended them about 5 inches.  I also extended the sleeve area a little because she seems to have inherited my wide shoulders.  I chose to put a band on the arms and a binding on the neck.  On the bottom I added...

My oldest daughter was all over the place this year as far as what she wanted to dress up as.  Hermoine, then a ranger–pretty much whatever book she was currently reading. She finally settled on a character from the Netflix show Dragon Prince.  I haven’t watched the show–but the rest of my family has a my daughter liked Rayla enough to dress up as her.  She here’s my take on a Rayla costume. Rayla is some sort of woodsy elf who can run really fast with her arms behind her.  I stared at pictures of her for hours and...
