A few weeks before the Portland Quilt Market show, I fell in love. My hubby didn’t mind . . . because it was just fabric – again! Fabric love led to fabric obsession and now there’s a GIVEAWAY you can enter! (Info at the end of this post.)
As I was cruising Instagram one night I made a sudden, full stop at a picture of the absolutely gorgeous Rose Garden Embrace® Double Gauze Ellen from Shannon Fabrics posted. My eyes met the roses, my sewing heart crushed and beat loudly and it was true, embraceable love at first sight. Such a stunning fabric!!
Ellen had the Pink version of the roses and offered to send me some to sew up. (Have I told you how much I love my sewing industry friends!?!) She wisely suggested the Cobalt version for me, I suggested we stage a twinning event at Quilt Market and the FUN had begun!
Ellen used Elaine Heigl’s Simplicity 8603 for her Pink Rose Garden Embrace™ Tunic along with, as she said, “luscious, soft knit bias tape from Vintage Door”. I love that trim!! And, it’s on my “must have” list now. You can check it out on the Vintage Door Etsy Shop!
The Event Begins
The Cobalt Rose Garden Embrace arrived on my door step about a week later and it was even more gorgeous out of the box than online! But, what to make? There were so many possibilities. Dress? Skirt? Jacket? Blouse?
I settled on one of my fave patterns – the Indygo Junction Urban Tunic. Last year I stitched up an Urban Tunic in Double Gauze and declared it The Perfect Tunic. It ticks all the boxes for an easy-always-looks-great project, so I decided to go for certain success.
Loving My Tunic!
And, I’m thrilled with how it turned out! It was perfect for a day at Quilt Market and functioned quite well when I met Sew News Magazine Editor-in-Chief, Ellen March. My tunic was thrilled to have a chance to pose with Indygo Junction owner/founder, Amy Barickman. And, it performed SO well for my twinning event with Ellen at the Shannon Fabrics booth. Best of all, it cast a halo over my head in the picture taken by Rhonda from Schmetz Needles. You just can’t ask for more than that!
I really want you to try this pattern! It’s one of those that always gets compliments, is always comfortable and as mentioned, it’s always easy to make. So, let’s take a look at a few details . . .
Urban Tunic Pocket Pro Tips
As I keep saying, the Urban Tunic is super-easy to cut out and put together. One front, one back, two pockets, two armhole facings and the cowl piece – that’s it. And, the way the pocket is done is really, really cool!
Now that’s it’s been a year, I can confess that I totally messed up the pockets on my first Urban Tunic. Because . . . I skipped the instructions and thought I knew what I was doing. Let me save you from that!
- Follow the instructions. They know what they’re talking about and they are your friends.
- This will help. . . The back of the pocket is the piece you will cut. (I serged around mine to finish the edge.) The front of the pocket is the front of the dress.
- Mark the side seams accurately with the dots on the pattern pieces. This leaves the opening for your pocket.
- Notch, fold and press the side seam pocket opening carefully.
- Stitch the side seams to the pocket markings carefully!
True Confession: Mine are stitched too far down and will need to be undone. If I ever gain weight in my hands, they won’t fit in my pockets anymore. And, if I stash money or chocolate in there – lack of access would be tragic!
The Rest of the Tunic Truth
There’s nothing else tricky about the Urban Tunic, but here are a few more notes.
- I increased the width at the side seams a bit more than my previous tunic, but now it seems like too much. Another re-adjustment I’d like to make. What do you think?
- I added extra length so it would be dress length. It hasn’t been quite warm enough in the Pacific Northwest and I haven’t tried it as a dress yet, but I think I’m going to love it.
- The instructions call for sewing on one layer of the cowl, then folding it down and hand stitching the second layer to the inside. That didn’t appeal to me, so I folded the cowl WST and stitched both layers on together.
- Embrace® Double Gauze has just enough stretch to it that I was able to leave the back zipper out.

Love the fabric! So pretty! I think I’d make a short kimono style jacket, the soft double gauze would be perfect! Thanks for the opportunity, love your blog! ❤️
OoooH, I love the kimono idea!! I have more double gauze waiting in line now and I think I’ll do that with one of them. Hope you win, KittyAnn!!
I would never have thought of a tunic for this large floral fabric but it’s gorgeous! I’d make the same or a high-low shirt and add sleeves as I’m 73 and no longer have the arms for sleeveless. How lovely of you and Shannon Fabrics to make this available! I hope I win it!
Kathy
Thanks, Kathy!! I am really enjoying my tunic. Your shirt idea with sleeves sounds wonderful. Hope you win!! 🙂
I would use the gauze fabric to make the Urban Tunic in the dress length with the cowl. Like you, the Cobalt fabric color works for my complexion, too.
And it has pockets!
Oh! I’m so glad you love it too, Cindy!! And, yes, pockets. A definite must-have. Hope you win!
Oh my, I must confess to not reading the directions. I cut and used four pockets, cut the back on a fold and then realized I didn’t have enough ease. The zipper is in the side seam.
I wish there was a sleeve option for this one. I think it would be great in flannel. I am looking forward to trying the gauze and no zipper, the cobalt will go great with my eyes.
And, this is how we learn to problem solve, right?! Haha!! Yes, four pockets is exactly what I did on my first one, too. Indygo Junction has another similar pattern that has sleeves. Take a look at the Mod Top & Tunic and see what you think. http://bit.ly/2IXk80p I think a stable knit like Ponte would be great, too. Hope you win!!
Absolutely love that fabric and it is perfect for you. Perhaps I will be lucky enough to find out if it is also perfect for me?!?! So many ideas are running though my mind as to what I would make with it. I like the tunic idea but just might go with a loose fitting overblouse. I wear layers a lot because of were I work and think this would work well over a sleeveless shell. Oh how grand should I have the opportunity to find out!
Thanks, Teri!! An overblouse sounds lovely. It would make a great layer! Hope you win!! 🙂
Annette, your tunic is so lovely and I’m so in awe that you got to meet Amy Barickman and Ellen March! That must have been so amazing!
I would love to be triplets with you and Ellen! I’m a little torn about what I would make, I love your tunic so much I might want to make one similar to it, but I also see the Rose Garden Embrace fabric, with it’s gorgeous vintage vibe, being amazing as a 1950’s style dress, such as the How To Do Fashion No. 1 Dragør dress. Decisions, decisions!
Thank you so hosting this giveaway! Oh, and I’m definitely checking out Vintage Door on Etsy! 🙂
Thank you so much, Emily!! I did have wonderful opportunities at Quilt Market and everyone is SO nice and generous. I love the idea of something vintagey. I’ll have to check out that dress! Yes, that Vintage Door trim is amazing. Must. Order. SOON! Hope you win!!
This looks so nice on you. I’d probably make the same tunic as the fabric goes so well with the pattern. Thanks for the giveaway.
Thanks, Kathy – that’s a nice compliment!! The pattern is really great, I’m sure you’d enjoy it. Hope you win!! 🙂
Love the fabric. I think I would make an Urban Tunic, so we could match! Yours is lovely.
Yes! We could twin, too!! Thanks so much, Elizabeth. Hope you win! 🙂
Hi Annette,
Your tunic turned out gorgeous! That is one of my fave patterns too. 🙂
Also, I love that blue color on you. I need to try that color next time. 🙂
Let’s plan a lot more twinning times together!
Your twin ; )
Ellen
Awwww – you are too kind, Ms. Twin!! Thanks so much for the great opportunity and yes, more twinning should happen soon! <3
Double gauze is the greatest! (I have to confess when I’m snuggling new baby granddaughter #3 & she has one of er gauze wraps, I’m ogling the fabric & thinking about what I could make with it. Bad Nonna! 🤫) I would definitely make Hey June’s new Phoenix top. Love your cobalt rose tunic—it screams summer to me.
Hahaha!! I love it, Nonna Mary! it’s just in our blood that we’re always thinking about fabric, isn’t it?! 🙂 And, let’s see . . . do I thank you for feeding my pattern addiction by pointing out the Phoenix or not??? LOL What an adorable design! It’s on my gotta-have list now. Thanks for the compliment and I hope you win!!
I would love to try the gauze! I would definitely make some type of tunic. Undecided on pattern.
So many choices, right, Adrienne?! I’m sure you would figure it out and it would be lovely. 🙂 Hope you win!!
What lovely fabric, and that style suits you completely. I would make a loose fitting dress to swan about in this heat. I have hear double gauze is fabulous for hot areas…always excited to see what you post!
Thank you so much, Chris!! I’m glad you’re enjoying my Sewful Life. It’s so much better with friends. 🙂 Yes, double gauze is 100% cotton, loosely woven and super-great for hot weather. Hope you win!!
Such lovely fabric! I’ve never sewn double gauze before but would love to try it! I wouldn’t mind having my own Urban Tunic!
It’s great fabric and easy to sew Elena. I’m sure you’d love the Urban Tunic as much as I do and we could twin, then! Haha!! Hope you win!
I love the feel of double gauze, but am a novice on sewing with it. Pre-wash? Handle with care? Instructions for working with it? I would make a tunic as well. I have the same Indygo Junction pattern, which I love. I like the Cobalt rose.
Thanks for the giveaway of this gorgeous fabric! What would I make? Probably a flowing, sleek summer dress, perhaps a wrap style with ruffles!
Oh, yes!! Flowing, sleek, wrap and ruffles all sound divine. Great idea, Linda! Hope you win! 🙂
I would love to make the Indigo Junction tunic with the double gauze – perfect for these hot summer daze. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
You are so welcome, Kathleen. I’m thrilled to be able to partner with Shannon Fabrics for thiis giveaway! The tunic is wonderful. I know you’s love it!! Hope you win! 🙂
Would love to make a summer dress out of this lovely fabric. Live in Texas and it is going to be a scorcher of s summer.
It would be perfect for you, Ruth! I’ve been watching all my cousins melting in the Texas heat. Maybe I need to sew for them. Haha!! Hope you win! 🙂
This is so lovely!! I sewed a Phoenix blouse by hey June with the same fabric! I’d love to sew a whole cloth quilt or swaddle blankets for new babies and a blouse for my girls so we can match.
Thank you! I’m so pleased with it. Funny – someone else mentioned the Phoenix today, I took a look at it and had to order it! It was a NEED – you know!?! I love all you ideas!! Hope you win! 🙂
I’d love to make a tunic top for my mother and a shirt for my brother. I’m positive he would love this fabric living in Raleigh, NC. The double gauze fabric is just about the only fabric one can tolerate in the crazy heat and humidity they have right now.
Yes, it would make a marvelous men’s shirt – great idea! And, double gauze is perfect for hot weather, especially since it’s 100% Cotton. Hope you win, Michele! 🙂
Lovely fabric …. you wear it, and the pattern, very well!!!
I would love to make a tunic as well, but my old arms need sleeves, at least to the elbow, if I want to wear it in public!!!!! I could adjust a pattern I’ve sewn (Simple-Elegant Tee from CNT) for a longer tunic.
Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Thank you, Terry!! You are very kind. 🙂 Yes, the Simple Elegant Tee would be great for this gorgeous fabric. Great idea!
Your tunic looks so nice on you! Believe it or not, I have been considering buying some gauze fabric for curtains, but I think the piece you’re giving away would make a gorgeous skirt.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Thanks, Kathleen! Ooooh!! I love the idea of curtains. They would have great drape and kind of an ethereal quality. Sounds yummy! A skirt would be wonderful!! Hope you win! 🙂
Your blog was perfect timing for me. I love, love double gauze and will definitely try your pattern. I love how flexible it seems to be and you have done such a great job of showing the process!! I want a gauze blanket and they are hard to come by. Do you thin this double gauze would work or would I want to double the thickness into 4 ply? Hmmm. Thanks so much. The Rose Garden print is lovely.
How wonderful, Cheryl! I’m glad to know the post popped up at just the right time. 🙂 Embrace Double Gauze is the weight of a baby swaddling blanket. It would just depend on what you have envisioned for your blanket. Doubling it would create a dreamy, floaty blanket, though with lots of loft – so, that could be great for you. The Urban Tunic is a fabulous pattern and you’re right, very versatile. Hope you win!
The tunic pattern is a great choice for this gorgeous fabric. I haven’t sewn with double gauze, but would love to find a sweet pattern for a summer or fall top. I’ve recently lost 35 pounds, so I really need new, better fitting clothes!
Wow – congrats, Kathy!! That’s hard work and you definitely deserve gorgeous new clothes! A top would be great for you. 🙂 Hope you win!
I’m thinking I’d make a light summer dress for my youngest sister. She’s going off to grad school and it’s been hot as blazes around here.It’ll be easy for her to wash and dry overnight and wear without worrying about looking too crumpled.
Aren’t you a sweetie, sewing for your sis?! 🙂 The Double Gauze is an amazing wash ‘n wear fabric and the “crinkle” is part of its charm. Hope you win!!
I love the Cobalt Rose double gauze fabric. The tunic looks so nice on you. I think that I would make a Summer Dress from this fabric
Thank you, Sue!! Definitely a fabulous Summer Dress fabric. Hope you win! 🙂
I would make a summer dress to wear while running errands in town. I love the feel of double gauze. N
It’s so comfy, isn’t it,? You’ll be the best looking errand runner around if you win!! 🙂
MY FAVORITE SUNDRESS …
Perfect!! Best of luck! 🙂
What a fun Post!! You both did Awesome job on your Tunics!! LOOOVE the Colbalt Roses best! Perfect choice for your Tunic too..it looks so cool & comfy! I think I have to get that pattern & would make one with this great double gauze too! Thank you for chance to win some!! 😀

I love your tunic so much, I’d make one just like it for myself!!!
Thank you!! If you win we can twin, too! 😉
There’s a couple basic tops I love and have made a few double gauze garments and they are heavenly. Perfect for California weather. I’m not sure what I’d make exaclty, decisions are so hard. I fibbed, definitely would make a dress.
Yes, a dress would be perfect!! Double gauze is definitely the right fabric for your weather. Hope you win and get a chance at that dress! 🙂
Such gorgeous fabric! I think I would make a light, flowing topper/jacket/kimono. Thanks for this giveaway.
That sounds just lovely, Corinne!! I’m so excited to be able to offer you a chance to win. Fingers crossed! 🙂
I would make my Butterick 5991 “princess skirt. Perfect for summer. And big roses are right up my style!
Had to look at that skirt, Eliz – gorgeous!! Roses forever! Hope you win!! 🙂
I’m not sure what I’d make, probably the Urban Tunic or a loose tank pattern I have. I love yours!
Thank you, Desiree!! You’d love the Tunic and your Tank sounds great. Tough choice! 🙂
This is lovely fabric. I’ve always wanted to try a sundress or a flowy tank top in double gauze. And that cobalt is gorgeous!
That sounds perfect! Double Gauze has wonderful drape that is terrific for something flowy. Hope you win!!
I would be using this beautiful fabric for a wrap and sleeveless top to match. I always need a little something more going into restaurants and shops. This is perfect
Ooh! That’s a great idea, Kitty. The double gauze would be perfect. Hope you win!
The cobalt roses are beautiful! I would make the Simplicity top! It would be perfect for the Texas heat this summer!!
Oh, yes, that sounds like the perfect pairing for a Texas summer!! Hope you win! 🙂
I would try the pattern you used. I do love anything baby doll so i’d Try to find anything like that :)))
Love those ideas, May!! Hope you win!
3 yards of fabric would make a lovely tank-style summer dress with enough for a shoulder wrap for cooler evenings. The PNW is warming up enough for that now, Annette. Love your tunic, love the fabric. So glad I found your blog through Shannon Fabrics!
Thanks, Margaret!! Sounds like we’re “neighbors. Yes, we’re getting some lovely weather now and I think the dress and shawl are a marvelous idea. 🙂 Hope you win!
I love the double embrace gauze, the Colbat Rose is beautiful. I would love to make the tunic.
You would enjoy it so much, Barbara! Hope you win!!
I would make a dress/tunic similar to yours, I have a slightly different pattern I would love try!
Sounds perfect, Denise. Hope you win!
I love both your and Ellen’s tunics. The pockets are such a nice feature. I find myself adding pockets into my sewing projects whenever practical. It’s such shame that pockets aren’t a standard feature in women’s clothing. I was intrigued when I saw that you were featuring double gauze fabric in this blog post. Just last week I was looking at the same fabric for a vintage wrap dress I’d like to make. I think that double gauze will drape nicely for a carefree summer look.
Thanks, Lydia! Embrace Double Gauze does have wonderful drape. You’ll love it! I totally agree about pockets. I keep pocket patterns pinned to the wall next to my cutting table so I can add them as you do. Hope you win! 🙂
What a comfortable looking tunic. I would certainly be making use of it this summer
Thank you! It’s comfy and the perfect summer fabric. 🙁
I will make something pretty to wear to my granddaughter’s wedding in a few weeks.
Awww, that sounds wonderful!! Hope you win! 🙂
I have never sewn with double gauze, but I think a tunic would be a great place to start.
You would love it, Delia. It’s a great fabric and so cool and comfy for summer! Hope you win!! 🙂
I’ve never seen double gauze fabric before but would love to try either of the 2 tops you both made as I love them both! wondering how the fit would be with someone with a tummy?
Oh, there’s a tummy under there, Debbie, so I think you’d be fine! Haha!! I work with my body measurements and compare them to the actual pattern piece so I can make adjustments before I cut. For our precious tummy area, I add 3 to 4 inches of ease to my body measurement and then I know how wide to make the pattern. Hope that helps! You can do it!! 🙂
Oh I do love the cobalt colorway of this print! My favorite summer pattern for gauze/double gauze is the Cashmerette Webster, I’d love to have one made from this fabric.
Oh, that’s a great idea for the double gauze!! I can definitely see it in those lovely roses. Hope you win! 🙂
Annette, I would make a cowl neck tunic, similar to yours. It’s lovely! This gauze has enough body and give to hold it nicely. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thanks, Ada!! It’s a great pattern and you would love it. Hope you win! 🙂
I love your tunic! I would love to use that gorgeous double gauze for a Cashmerette Montrose or Springfield.
Good ideas!! Hope you win! 😉
I love your tunic! I would love to make a Cashmerette Montrose or Springfield out of the gorgeous double gauze.
Thank you! Excellent choices, it would be gorgeous in either one!! 🙂
I’ve been looking for some double gauze that wasn’t juvenile! This is a beautiful print! I’d love to make a sundress with this fabric. But seeing your pattern, which has been on my radar also (along with the school house tunic), I’d might be twinning you! Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
Either one sounds great, Susan! I love the selection of non-juvenile prints that Shannon Fabrics makes. So many temptations!!
I’d love to make a sleeveless tunic from this. Looks very comfy!
It is SO comfy, Marjorie. You would love it!! Hope you win! 🙂
Double gauze is awesome for summer heat. And what a cute top you made! I’m a beginner and working on a muslin version of a simple tunic top with 3/4 sleeve. Would love to try the real thing in double gauze!
Thank you, Leanne and welcome to the wonderful world of sewing!! Double Gauze is terrific and you would love it. Hope you win! 🙂
That tunic looks super comfy. I would love to try and make one
It’s a great pattern and the Double Gauze is wonderful. Hope you win, Theresa!!
I would probably make the tunic – I love it and already have several made out of different materials. I love that color on you and think it looks very flattering….
Thank you, Donna! It’s such a great pattern, isn’t it?!? We could be Urban Tunic twins!! 🙂
I would love to win this fabric. I would either make the same Tunic or the Easy Top. I’ve seen many of them posted in daouble gauze and they look so nice. But I love the neckline on yours!! Thank you for the opportunity.
You are so welcome! Great ideas and I hope you win!! 🙂
Love the rose print. It looks so comfortable.
It is wonderfully comfy, Kim. You would love Double Gauze!!
Gorgeous fabric! I would probably make a sundress, maybe the Blank Slate Leralynn, the Sinclair Karma, or even one of the layers in the Sew Liberated Metamorphic Dress!
Ooh, yes, I can see it in all of those, Sarah. Brilliant ideas!! Hope you win! 🙂
Oh my … how to make up my mind … I think I’d want more than a tunic – especially with 3 yards to work with! It would be gorgeous as a long easy fitting summer dress. The Everyday Tank lengthened to mid-calf could work. New Look’s 6565 or 6511. It should ‘float’.
I love the float idea, Lynn. You and Double Gauze could make magic together!! 🙂
That’s an easy answer for me. I would make this Tunic! I love the neckline and have been eyeing this pattern for a while now!
Oh, my goodness, Vicki – you would love the Urban Tunic. It’s just the best!! Hope you win! 🙂
Perfect for the Indygo Junction Contemporary Kimono! Or maybe the Everyday Tank .
Excellent ideas, Rhonda!! We’re on the same wave length. I have an Everyday Tank made from Double Gauze and I’ve been thinking about the kimono, too. We could do some Twinning if you win! 🙂
I haven’t used double gauze before but it looks interesting and I love the color and would like to try the tunic!
You would love both, Kandy!! Hope you win! <3
I love the tunic. It will hide all my rolls!! Lol. Fingers crossed I would love to win
Yes, yes – it’s a wonderful “roll guard”!! 🙂 Hope you win, Joanne!
I have been wanting to try sewing something with a double gauze. LOVE the print and the pattern.
Thanks, Jody!! Double Gauze is great. Hope you win! 🙂
That double qauze in rose print (in either color) is sumptuous! Worked up as Indygo Junction’s Urban Tunic is just perfect for warm summer days. I’ve been wanting to try out both the double gauze and the Urban Tunic, so why not combine them as you did, and sew up a perfectly breezy outfit to finish out my favorite season.
I like your thinking, Nancy!! 🙂 You’ll love both Double Gauze and the Urban Tunic. Hope you win! 🙂
I think a maxi version would be great in this pattern.
Love that idea, Sandy!! A maxi would be lovely in the rose print. Hope you win!
I’ve been dieting (and losing weight!) and since I’ve been making alterations to all of my summer pants and capris, I thought I’d treat myself to some fabric to make a top with another Amy B. pattern, the Slight Sleeve Top & Tunic ( I do like more of a sleeve for myself). I just bought a couple yards of a lilac double gauze because I had heard that it was easy to sew with and would be cooler to wear (while having hot flashes in the Arizona heat) 😉 I would love to win this giveaway and make another top to help me keep my cool this Summer 🙂
Congratulations on your accomplishment, Margaret!! Bravo! Sounds like you’re having great fun with your summer sewing and staying cool in the heat. Hope you win so you can sew even more!
Oh my, I haven’t yet used the Double Gauze but I would love to! I’m thinking maybe a simple dress or romper would be cute! Thank you for the chance to win! 😍
Great ideas, Denise and you’ll love Double Gauze!! Hope you win! 🙂
I really like your tunic. I have had that pattern on my sewing list for some time. Now i definitely need to make one.
It’s really a great pattern, Linda – you’ll love it!! Hope you win! 🙂
Hi there – I came across your blog post by happenstance and enjoyed reading it top to bottom. I am a quilter but have been itching to sew for ME! I would love to make the Urban Tunic as it looks so comfy!! Thank you!
Hi Judy! Thank you – I’m so glad you stopped by!! You would love the Urban Tunic and probably all of the Indygo Junction patterns. They’re really great for quilters just like you who are dipping into sewing for themselves. Hope you win!! 🙂
BEAUTIFUL! Not only is double gauze my most favorite fabric in the world, but tomorrow (July 12th) is my birthday. What a wonderful gift that would be 🙂
Well, that would be wonderful!! Happy Birthday, Eliza and I hope you win! 🙂
Love the drape and flow of the fabric as it is in your tunic! I have a rather “lumpy” figure from an accident and I’m trying to make clothing that accommodates my new figure. That tunic looks like it would be a fabulous pattern to add to my collection.
It covers my lumps quite nicely, Candy – I think you’d love it!! 🙂 Hope you win!
Well Annette I think you just made the case for me to try my new Urban Tunic pattern in double gauze! So that is exactly what I would do with it if I would win! That pattern has been calling my name since it arrived and this sounds perfect!
Hi Deena!! Oh, yes, the Urban Tunic is great in Double Gauze and you’ll love it. Hope you win! 🙂
Where have I been? This is a new-to-me fabric and I’d love to try it. Hmmm. Three yards should be enough for me with another for a granddaughter.
Oooh! You’re going to love Double Gauze!! It’s easy to sew with and so comfy for Summer wear. Hope you win! 🙂
I love the fabric. I just got the tunic pattern but haven’t made it yet. So, perfect combination!
Oooh, hope you win!! You’re going to love the Tunic – and, Double Gauze. 🙂
What beautiful fabrics! I would love to make a sundress or tunic for myself or a romper for my daughter. She would LOVE the pink roses!
Love those ideas, Michelle! It’s 54″ wide, so you might have enough for both of you. 🙂 Hope you win!
The tunic would be my choice, I have been looking for something like this. THANKS for the opportunity to enter
You’re so welcome, Joan and I hope you win! 🙂
What a great giveaway! I’d make the Urban Tunic too. Can’t beat a sleeveless tunic with pockets in double gauze. Perfect!
Yes, I’m thrilled to be able to do this!! You would love the Urban Tunic, Libby. Hope you win! 🙂
I’d make a kimono for myself and, with the scraps, some bits and pieces for my soon-to-arrive granddaughter. Things like blankets, washcloths and the like depending on how much there is.
How lovely, Linda. I love your plan! I’ve used Double Gauze scraps to big burp cloths and I’ve heard they’re great. Congrats on the almost-here granddaughter!! <3
Oh I’ve been looking for beautiful double gauze to make myself a cool and comfortable summer tunic. Anything I can find here is in a baby print. And I know Shannon Fabrics will be of the upmost quality. I’d be so excited to win some!!
This one is definitely gorgeous and perfect for summer. Hope you win, Sharyn!!
I love your choice of pattern. I have a kimono pattern that I would use with the beautiful double gauze fabric. I like to keep me arms covered in the sun.
Thanks, Lynda! I love the kimono idea. Hope you win!!
oh my, such lovely fabric. I would likewise make a tunic but possible with a flair to feel the breeze !!
Sounds terrific, Kathleen!! Hope you win!
Hi Annette,
I’d make Simplicity 8603 as I can see it works great with this pattern. I got the pattern out the other day and thought I need to make this up. And, this double gauze would be perfect! Its lovely fabric.
Hi Diane! Wonderful plan. Then you could twin with Ellen, too!! 🙂 Hope you win!
really gorgeous dress, must be so comfy to wear. I’m now sewing a jacket with this kind of pocket and I’m going to follow the instructions closely!
This double gauze is sophisticated enough for a kimono jacket!
Thank you, it is super comfy! Yes, a kimono jacket would be fabulous. 🙂
I can’t wait to make my summer strap top with my 3 yards.. Annette. It will be perfect. And just awesome for my Birthday on July 15th. Wish me luck Annette.
Good luck, Keta!! 🙂
The urban tunic is at the top of my “to make” list, so if I win the giveaway that is what I will be making with the fabulous double gauze! I was so excited to see double gauze in a “grown up” print!
Thanks for the chance to win it!
I would definitely make a summer, sleeveless tunic for our hot Arizona days. Beautiful fabric.
I love the urban tunic and the double gauze
