The pattern for this tunic made in cotton was from a book called "Handmade Style" by Anna Graham and features an overlapped shoulder detail which means it does not need a zip or other opening.
On the first version I accidentally reversed the shoulder overlap. This did not notice very much and I found the garment came together very easily.
I decided to make a second tunic but I found the shoulders harder to work this time and they did not lay correctly, so I sewed on some buttons which corrected the problem.
This photo shows the shoulder detail with added button. I also added buttons on the sleeve cuffs.
The tunic also features two front pockets.
The cuffs also overlap and turn back on themselves.
I love this book as there are so many great projects in it.
This is the first version which I made in a grey cotton with the shoulder flaps going the wrong way.
I have worn both garments many times.
