If the heat did that to my brain, I wouldn't complain about it so much :-)... It seems to be draft-from-scratch time again at HP, but your finished product is -stunning-.

You must have had great fun making this. It's lovely!

You’re creativity and patience transformed this pattern into a lovely summer tunic, despite all the pattern troubles you had to conquer you made it work, congrats. It looks great on you.

I loved all the details about your creative process. Kind of makes me want to turn off the AC and see if similar inspiration transforms me.

Gorgeous, very exotic.

G. your tunic turned out just amazing. I love, love, love the tulle edging on the cuff. -Ann

Absolutely gorgeous.

Wow, little did I realize all the work you were devoting to this project. Love the neckline embellishments, edgings, and cuff!!! The result is wonderful to behold and now you have a TNT pattern and some heat relief. Great review of your design process, Georgene. Thanks for writing it up and showing us the pix. Nice to revisit Project Alabama, as well.

This is too beautiful for words - just love, love it!!

Just wonderful Georgene. Your creativity inspires me.
8/4/06 8:49 AM
Fabulous - I think you protest too much about the heat since you had the foresight (lucky us) to take pictures all along the way. I'd say you should take full credit for all the creative choices.
8/4/06 9:10 AM
Wow, that is gorgeous! I love all of your embellishments!! Thanks for the review!!
8/4/06 9:19 AM
This is just beautiful. Your perserverance paid off. Very creative and so stylish!
8/4/06 9:31 AM
Wow it looks great!
8/4/06 9:34 AM
Georgene, it turned out beautifully! I love all of your embellishments.
8/4/06 9:39 AM
Your top is wonderful! I'm glad the heat got you, because your neckfacing is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us.
8/4/06 9:42 AM
Your work has taken my breath away, what a beautiful tunic!! It is absolutly stunning on you. Thank you for sharing.
8/4/06 9:47 AM
Oh my gosh - this is just beautiful. I wish my brain would get fried so that I could turn out creations like this one. Another project well done.
8/4/06 9:48 AM
So it was way more work than the heat required but now it is fabulous instead of just functional. The other "plain" tunics will be jealous!
8/4/06 9:54 AM
Wow! Looks like a pricey designer piece. Great job!
8/4/06 9:56 AM
Beautiful tunic! I enjoyed reading your review and seeing all of the pictures.
8/4/06 10:08 AM
Greatballsofire! Mega-Dittos to all of the above! The only words I can add are It's soooooo elegant. In the photo by your DH showing the back shaping the word that came to mind was Regal! Anyone who can look elegant & regal in that heat & humidity is both, elegant & regal (IMNSHO) Thanks so much for this review!
8/4/06 10:29 AM
Oh, but a ripped out and revised neckfacing would've been so...normal.... This is a work of art!
8/4/06 10:31 AM
S. Kahjle would be very proud of you! Great colors for you.
8/4/06 10:32 AM
What a beautiful combination of fabrics and embellishments. Very inspiring, as usual.
8/4/06 10:36 AM
What a phenomenal amount of work, but the end result is so worth it. Beautiful!
8/4/06 11:47 AM
Let's hear it for fever-dreams, Georgene! The tunic is lovely, and you will be swanning about in more than Oriental splendor.
8/4/06 12:24 PM
Beautiful! The end result is well-worth the time you put into it.
8/4/06 12:25 PM
Absolutely gorgeous!
8/4/06 12:43 PM
Stunning! I love the colors and details on your finished tunic.
8/4/06 1:22 PM
It's amazing that such a simple pattern requires so many alterations. I have made this pattern about 5 times now; it is now one of my favorites...but I had to do as many alterations to get the thing to fit.
8/4/06 3:48 PM
its absolutely GEORGEOUS! it was worth every minute.
8/4/06 3:49 PM
This is the most-ut, as Judy Jetson would say - I love it Georgene, it's perfect!
8/4/06 4:16 PM
What a gorgeous tunic. It is such a rich and vibrant colour combination, and it looks wonderful on you!
8/4/06 5:34 PM
What an outstanding piece! Loved reading all about the creative process. Thanks also for the lovely pictures. The final tunic looks great.
8/4/06 5:36 PM

You are a true diva! I salute you. It is stunning. You have tangable proof that the heat was good for something! Congrats

This is so totally gorgeous! I am in awe. Question, the sleeve, what did you do to this to make it fit. Several other people have compained about having to redraft, not just make fit adjustments.
11/6/06 9:48 AM
NancyK, in order to fit the sleeve, I made a muslin...meaning I cut the sleeves, with extra seam allowance, basted the underarm seam, and pinned it to the armhole while wearing the body of the garment. I always fit sleeves with the s/a folded to the inside, as if it were sewn. I fiddle with the look of the sleeve head until it looks right, refolding and repositioning the seam allowance. Since I am right handed I work on the left side first, then roughly translate the same changes to the right side. This way you can see your armhole shape as well as the sleeve head shape. I think it would be very very difficult to fix the sleeve as a flat pattern process. I 'let the fabric talk'.

This is really lovely Georgene. I just bought this pattern and am now reading through the reviews. The amount of work that you put into this is truly amazing.
