Free Tunic Patterns To sew Now
I have a special place in my heart for tunics and easy tunic patterns. Just throw on and go! One of the few no-fuss pieces of wardrobe, it is, on the other hand, so easy to style and match - even in the plainest leggings and sneakers, you can instantly create a good-for-the-outside look. I sure love everything that's both easy and comfortable!
And tunic tops are both: they allow you to be comfortable and get ready really quickly.
Perfect for days when you need to get dressed and go - no time for fashion details. And even for when I do have time, I'd rather spend it sipping my morning coffee than digging through my wardrobe trying to find a matchy outfit, haha!
These tunic patterns to sew are grouped into tunic patterns with sleeves, followed by sleeveless tunic patterns, and towards the end I also included a few tunic pattern drafting tutorials. The choice is all yours!
