The Studio Tunic is a pinafore-style tunic that takes layering to a whole new level.

The utilitarian stitching makes for a durable, wear everywhere answer to your art-teacher-vibes dreams. With roomy pockets for all the treasures and tools that you might need in your day in the kitchen, studio, garden or on the hiking trail, you’ll be hands free and ready for adventure.

The deeper neckline and low armholes make layering over all types of tops, in all seasons, a breeze. It’s easy to layer over jeans, leggings, dresses and skirts with the easy A-line silhouette, and the hem falls to mid-thigh.

Included in the pattern are two neckline options: a V-neck or a deep rounded neckline. The caramel linen sample in the photos was customised by sizing down 2 sizes in the top and grading out to standard size at the hip. The other samples are a standard fit.

Suggested fabrics: Mid-weight woven fabric. Some wonderful choices are mid-weight linen and chambray, cotton twill, Essex linen or light canvas, in solids or prints. The drape or hand of the fabric will significantly impact the look and fit of the final garment – softer fabrics like washed linen will fall gently for a relaxed, garden vibe, and more sturdy fabrics like light canvas or twill will enhance the oversized, utility look and the A-line silhouette. (If you choose a heavier weight fabric, you might want to use a lighter fabric for your facings to reduce bulk.) More confident sewists might choose a viscose-linen blend for a really luxurious texture.
