What a cute little tunic. What kind of fabric do you plan to use? Oh, and where did you learn fashion sketching or are you just a natural? That sketch looks great  Good luck!

Hey thanks guys! For the fabric I'm not too sure, I'm thinking a slight stretchy cotton, i think in a yellow, I'm going to go looking today For the sketches I've always been drawing but did take a summer course at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, then years later took a fashion sketching class for a couple of days, I actually have a book for fashion sketching, so that helped Thanks again! Heres the book in case your interested http://www.bestwebbuys.com/1563672944 |

Aren't you clever to design, draft a pattern and make a tunic for yourself!!! Great job and it looks so good on you. I envy your talent. Marty
