Olympus Tie Tunic Vest with English Instructions KT-2

Create an easy-to-wear layering piece with the Olympus Tie Tunic Vest KT-2 Sewing Pattern.

This Japanese garment pattern features a relaxed tunic-style vest or smock with a softly shaped neckline and charming ties at each side. Wear it over a T-shirt, blouse or long-sleeved top for a comfortable layered look that works beautifully for everyday sewing, crafting, gardening or casual wear.

The uncomplicated shape also makes this a lovely pattern for showing off a favourite fabric without chopping it into lots of small pieces. Linen blends, textured cottons, yarn-dyed fabrics and medium-weight woven cottons would all suit the simple Japanese-inspired styling beautifully.

The finished garment measures approximately 69cm long with a 55cm body width. The pattern is generally suited to an intermediate sewer.

This is an original Japanese Olympus pattern supplied with English translation assistance. Please note that while English translations are included to help you follow the pattern, it does not contain completely rewritten English instructions.
