Fawn Lily Tunic

Today I am sharing the third of four patterns I tested for Willow & Co (you can catch the first two here and here if you missed them).  This is the Fawn Lily tunic designed by Rebecca from Rock the Stitch and man is it cute!

 


This tunic has a really unique design; I have never seen anything quite like it before.  It has a really cool crossover yoke that eliminates the need for any type of closures, so no button holes to sew or zippers to install…awesome!
It also has a pretty unique construction and you end up with no exposed seams on the sleeves. 

 


I used some hounds tooth fabric from Michael Millers Bella Butterfly line that I have been hanging on to for about a year along with the fabric I used in my Persimmon dress.  It felt good to finally use it and I just love how it looks on this top.  I paired it with a solid blue I picked up at Joann’s

 


This pattern also comes with a dress option, I decided to go with the tunic because I have been making Em so many dresses lately, and it was nice to add a top to her wardrobe.  There are also options for a gathered skirt or pleated skirt and options for a button yole and pleated sleeves.

 



I have one more Willow & Co pattern I tested to share with you tomorrow so swing by and check it out!
