This tunic top is made with leftovers from my plaid skirt (made last month) supplemented with some black broadcloth from my stash.
Plaid is in front:
Black in back:
Why is there a zipper at the bottom? Because when I tried on the top, it did not fit over my butt. Just being honest. My solution was to put in an exposed zipper and make it look intentional, not accidental. I did this by adding a plaid reinforcement made from a folded fabric triangle (quilters call this a "prairie point.")
Necessity is the mother of invention. This was good practice in case I decide to do exposed zippers on another project.
