Let's do a mockup for the tunic! When altering a pattern or even making a pattern completely from scratch, it's always smart to purchase cheap muslin and/or use old sheets to make a practice mockup. When that mockup is complete, you take your basting stitches out and use those pieces as your final pattern.
Let's start by putting the front together and adding the neckline trim.
Getting the neckline trim sewn just at the bottom and ironing the seams open. We pin it to the open neckline, sew and flip rightside out. Press.
Tuck the edges under, press and pin then topstitch.
Back sewn and then the side backs sewn to that.
Do the same to the front and then pin and stitch the back to the front via the shoulders.
Iron and fold the edges of the sleeves under, attach to the tunic and then stitch up the sides and under arms.....
Well....shit. Too tight especially around the hips and too short, soooo back to the drawing board and more muslin. This is why you do a mock up first!
Patterns adjusted and cut out.
Front sewn together, neckline trim sewn together, flipped rightside out and topstitched once again.
Side fronts sewn to front.
Back sewn, side backs sewn to that.
Shoulders pinned, matching seams. Sewn. Sleeves reattached.
Better fit with a little tailoring.
Collar pinned, sewn, flipped rightside out, pressed, one side bottom edge pressed inward. Attached to tunic.
