  Step 1

  Every step in the making of this tunic is made with the right side (the face ) of the fabric facing up.
  Do step 1.

  Step 2

  You don't want to mess up step 2. Here you fold the fabric again and cut just a tiny part (where shown on pic) because if you cut it too big there is no turning back - the opening will be too large and the fabric ruined. If when put on the opening is too small then you fold it again and try to make it slightly bigger.

  Step 3

  Unfold it when done and here it is. It resembles a poncho, doesn't it? That's right. Now, all you have to do is hem it around (shown with the dashes). And the back side too. When done, fold again as it was previously.

  Step 4

  Next, you have to top stitch it where shown. Mark the sides where you are going to sew the sides along the body. For this you can either measure yourself or simply take a t-shirt or a blouse that fits you really nice and copy the sides onto the fabric. Measure yourself from the armpit to the line just below your bust. That is how much space you should leave for the sleeves. From that lower line sew a straight line to the end. Do the same with the other side. {Please note that you must sew with the fabric facing up!}

  Step 5

  If your jersey is plain / not patterned, you can make some flounces, ruffles,straps and a rose to decorate it.

My favorite part is the embellishments added! I'd love some guidance on how to reproduce that!

Thank you Tracy! For the foundation I just ruffled a larger piece down the center, the tubes are made by cutting strips of jersey and stretching them up, while for the flower I rolled some of those strips. And that would be it!
