Shana Bell Sleeve Tunic Patricia Tunic They tend to include instructions for making it the length you want based on your height, which I have found to be fairly accurate too. ------ Wendy Wellington, New Zealand

Mark at your waist and then lower that line how much for the blouson effect, so the garment won't pull up when raising the arms? I'm trying this for both little girl's and adult clothing.

I use 1/4" elastic so it's just a minimal 3/8" tunnel. ------ Sewing: A creative mess is better than tidy idleness. ~Author Unknown
