A Shorter Version of Tunic/Pants

Pattern: Tops Butterick 3030 view A shortened to hip length Scuba knit from Fabric Mart

 

This is the same top here. I like this top so much that I made one more. I also have plans to use this pattern for some Spring/Summer tops.

 

Pants: Simplicity 2190 Flocked Varigated Denim from Fabric Mart

Pant Alterations:  Front band was reduced by one inch
                             Removed two inches from outer and inner leg
*This pattern does run large. After making adjustments, I thought "I'd never make this pant again, but we'll see. I do like the fit.

This is such a fun top that I'm making several. This is the first one.Some are just for casual wear. This one is for a date with the Mr.

As you visit my blog, you'll notice repeats of this top and pants with different variations. Colorful pants using this pattern. Since I've made a couple of tops with this length, I've decided to hem the next tops about 2".
