Butterick 5388

Butterick 5388



I forgot to post this last week. I've been getting real lucky lately. This turned out great! I paired this tunic with leggings and a pair of boots similar to the ones Halle is wearing in this pic


Fabric is from my stash (a red snakeskin printed faille, I think), once again, my husband is always happy about that. No alterations needed on this one, the only thing I did differently was omit the interfacing on the cowl neck piece.  I didn't want it stiff and thought it was somewhat pointless to cut it on the bias (to give it a nice drape), as instructed, only to turn around and interface it. Love it!

Have a blessed weekend everyone!
