DETAILS *Final sale. No customizations can be made to sale products. The Keyhole Tunic is fitted at the bust and falls to mid-thigh with a flared hem for a loose, A-line shape. In addition to its signature keyhole detail, this tunic has a center front and back seam, and binding at the neckline and armholes. This tunic uses the 3D technique, a combination of whipstitch appliqué, reverse appliqué, beading, and outside knots. All of the techniques can be found in Alabama Studio Sewing + Design. A zero-waste design, it also uses scrap fabric for the rose appliqué and as the backing layer for reverse appliqué. The tunic layer and body of the garment are stenciled with the rose design to make the cutting and placement of the appliqué simple. Review the Kit Contents section of this description for tips on zero-waste techniques. • Difficulty level: Intermediate• Approximately 27” at center front and 36” from the shoulder to the lowest point on the sides• Instructions for garment construction available here• Techniques used: whipstitch appliqué, reverse appliqué, and beading. Technique instructions can be found in Alabama Studio Sewing + Design.• Ships in 1 - 3 business days KIT CONTENTS • Top layer: Stenciled medium-weight cotton jersey• Bottom layer: Un-stenciled medium-weight cotton jersey scrap fabric*• Appliqué layer: medium-weight cotton jersey (stenciled on back side for easy cutting and placement)• Strips of binding• Button Craft Thread• Clear glass seed beads• Stitch Sampler: 8" x 10" practice sample• The School of Making label *A note on zero-waste practices:In your kit, you will find scrap fabric to use as your appliqué and backing layer. Follow the same instructions for appliqué and reverse appliqué (pg. 95 and 100 of Alabama Studio Sewing + Design), with a few tips and adjustments.- Make sure the scrap piece is large enough to cover the back of the area to be reverse appliquéd. You may use a single piece to cover the back of a larger area or several smaller pieces as the backing layer of individual shapes. This technique leaves a lot of room for creative design and color variation.- Press fabric scraps, if needed, and pin securely in place.- After stitching around a shape and knotting off, trim away the backing fabric to leave a 1/4“ border. We recommend trimming immediately after finishing each shape, rather than waiting until all are complete. Sewing Steps:1. REVERSE APPLIQUE STEMSUsing a doubled thread and a straight stitch, follow the instructions for Reverse Appliqué using the outer and backing layers. Add a bead to every other stitch, and leave thread tails out.2. REVERSE APPLIQUE LEAVESContinue with Reverse Appliqué for the leaves as above without beads. Leave thread tails out.3. WHIPSTITCH APPLIQUE ROSESUsing a single thread and a parallel whipstitch, follow the instructions for Appliqué using the appliqué layer of fabric. Leave thread tails out.
