   I love your wool jersey tunic! I hope to run across a similar pattern one of these days. Thanks for sharing.

   The neck of that tunic looks like it required some serious skill! The red-orange is a very happy color, and pulled off well!

   heather: sewing in the neck on this pattern is actually easy…the neck of the bodice and the cowl edge that joins it are the same size…it just gets wider as it goes out to the top edge of the cowl neck for fullness. plus, wool jersey is a knit, which means it’s stretchy and you can stretch to fit when sewing and pinning.

   thanks!
