This is Rowe's Tunic by Style Arc patterns. I used another kit from Craftsy. The pattern came together beautifully and the top/dress fits like a glove. The fabric that came in the kit is a really nice interlock knit. The only problem is that the light color makes me reluctant to wear this as a dress. I feel like I will always need leggings under it unless I wear a slip. I hope to make another one in a darker fabric.
As I said, the pattern came together very well. The only problem I had was that I had to unpick the back of the collar and re-stretch/sew the neck band. I had one or two puckers the first time and I wanted it to look perfect.
Life with an autistic son, two daughters, a husband, and a full time job can get pretty hectic! Making things helps me maintain SANITY.

Lela Tunic
I recently finished the Lela Tunic by Green Bee patterns. I purchased the pattern and fabric (a light weight voile) as a kit from Craftsy. I love the finished product, and it is going to be a great top for spring!
I will probably make another soon. I might even add some length for a dress version. One change I will make is to draft a neck facing. The pattern uses a long bias strip and though I was able to use it without any puckers on the curves, I think a facing would work better and be less aggravating. I might also make a shorter sleeve for summer.
