Choosing Your Fabric and Patterns
Before you begin your sewing project, you need to choose the right fabric and patterns. The material you select needs to be breathable and comfortable for the hot summer days. Fabrics like cotton, linen or rayon are excellent choices for a boho tunic.
When it comes to selecting your tunic sewing patterns, consider different styles and designs that reflect your personality. Do you like a tunic blouse with a sleeve or a sleeveless tunic? Perhaps you prefer a boho tunic dress or a maxi dress? There are countless sewing patterns available online to suit your taste and skill level. Some patterns come with an easy sew guideline, perfect for beginners.
Cutting and Sewing Your Tunic
Once you’ve chosen your fabric and patterns, it’s time to cut and sew your boho tunic. Start by pinning your pattern to the fabric. Remember to leave a seam allowance, typically about 5/8 of an inch. This ensures that your tunic top will fit properly. Once you’ve pinned the pattern, cut the fabric along the pattern lines.
Now, it’s time to sew. Using your sewing machine, begin by sewing the sides and shoulders of your tunic. Take it slow and make sure each seam is straight. Once the sides and shoulders are sewn, move on to the sleeves (if applicable) and the front of the tunic.
Finishing Your Boho Blouse
After you’ve successfully sewn your tunic, it’s time for the final touches. This includes hemming the bottom and sleeves, as well as adding any decorative elements you desire. For a true boho style, consider adding a bias binding to the neckline. This not only adds a pop of color but also gives your blouse a professional finish.
To hem your boho top, fold the bottom edge up by the width of your chosen seam allowance, pin it in place, and sew along the edge. Repeat this process for the sleeves. When adding your bias binding, pin it to the neckline right sides together, sew, flip it over to the inside, and stitch in place.
