Striped Swallow Designs - shorts & tunics

Striped Swallow Designs sells patterns online. 

Last summer the shop tried the coachella shorts pattern. It was a good pattern and made up well.

Recently Whigs & Tories purchased the pattern called the "Wanderer Tunic" and tried it out in purple to create a lovely piece. But this particular model didn't like the feeling of the fabric strips at mid arm. Which is too bad, it makes the piece, but she doesn't find it comfortable. We would like to then try adding elastic to the sleeve bottom and seeing if the resulting puff made it more comfy. We will try that soon. Meanwhile. We are cutting tunic patterns and hope to have them in the shop next week. The pattern lends it self to a "hodgepodge" style fabric usage.

  1. Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt, not swallowed. See the link below for more info.
