My Pink & Black Maternity Tunic

Another empire maternity tunic.

V-neck pullover tunic. Shirring on the front center of the empire seam line.

I use silky pink & black patterned fabric. Not really sure the exact material. The fabric has a beautiful sequins embellished parallely near the selvedge. I cut the selvedge and attach it along the V-neckline of the tunic.

With only 4 pattern pieces, this is among the easiest tunic to sew. I did took a lot more time doing the shirring (for the first time) than sewing the whole garment. I use Burda Style Magazine, 05-2010, pattern no. 104. I made some changes; I omit the sleeve band, lengthen the hemline for about 2 cm, raised the neckline, raise the armholes and reduce the shirring line from 8 to only 5 lines.

I really love this pattern i think i might sew this again with another different fabric. Its very comfortable and i love how i look. Read my pattern review.
