I think this one is a keeper. I love the simple design of this tunic. I wanted it to be a little more fitted and less A-line. I love that look, but with my shape, things like that make me look like I am pregnant. Which is fine if you are, but I am not.
I choose some Denyse Schmidt fabric that I love. I also had some perfect mother-of-pearl buttons in my stash. I just held them on with safety pins for the picture because it was getting dark.
I think this pattern was a little tougher than I thought it would be. The yoke was a little tricky. I used my walking foot and I think that helped a lot. The pattern also comes with an option to make a belt, and an awesome flower. I am not the flower type, but I think I need to make one for Anna's hair.

It looks lovely on you! Fresh, fun yet sophisticated, perfect with your cuffed jeans. And that bracelet rocks!
Very pretty on you. I just hope that in your neck of the woods, it is not warm enough to be wearing it now???LOL. Looks great though.....

It's gorgeous! And what a fun fabric you used for it. I love the button detail at the back. Definitely not maternity-looking, either. Oh, to be able to sew like you!
Very cute! I have found that rounded yokes are trickier than meets the eye as well, but you did a terrific job. Those buttons are perfect.
I'll have to remember this one for when I'm not sporting the preggers belly. ;)
ugh! So freakin good looking! I've had that pattern forever and never even opened. I really need to make one myself!
Your tunic turned out wonderful and it looks lovely on you!! Perfect fabric too.
Great tunic. I love the buttons detail. Mother of pearl buttons are my favorite. Very flattering.
I have eyed this tunic before, but seeing it on you makes me want to give it a try. It looks lovely. =)
Cute Cute CUTE. Great fabric selection. And perfect with your skinny jeans.
I love it!
I really love this shirt-I've been thinking about making that pattern for a bit. Perhaps when summer comes I can tackle the tricky yoke.
Cute top. I've been looking for some tops to make once the weather warms up.
Lovely! The fabric and fit are super on you. It feels a lot like spring ~ which can come soon!
Great bracelet. :)
You could still make this a bit more fitted by adding two fish-eye darts int he waist area. It is super cute!
Those buttons really make it! Very pretty; very fresh!
It's very cute! Great job!
This is so cute on you!
Oh I love this one, too. I made it over the past summer and then proceeded to wear it like every day. Did you find it a bit smaller in the top than you imagined. Yours appears to fit your perfectly. I'm just asking because I thought mine was tight in the pits... but super roomy everywhere else. Maybe I just have huge armpit muscles?!?!?!
Oh, I love it, I love it, I love it. This makes me want to get this pattern out and make another! The tunic looks great with those jeans too.
Very cute! It's got that 'hip young mama' feel to it.
I'm a huge fan of the Anna Tunic!
I make the mini dress length and then wear it with a pair of jeans and a cardigan (especially at this time of year!)
One of these days I want to make one with the yoke and dress in a contrasting fabric.
I bet you'll make lots of these: once you have the pattern cut out (which is the WORST part), they go together so quickly.
As usual, you did a great job and I love your fabric choice!
Oh, so cute. You wear it well.
It looks really cute on you!
It's wonderful, and looks fabulous on you. I love that fabric, too.
I love the fabric you chose, and it looks great on. That bracelet is gorgeous!
It is fabulous! And looks wonderful on you! *Quickly adding Anna Tunic to sewing queue.*
The tunic is so beautiful! So spring-y, which I am pining for right now as the snow tumbles down.

So adorable!
I like the buttons in the back - but those look hard!
Very cute!!! It looks great on you! I have to tell you, I met Stefanie Japel this weekend at CHA (Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show) and I was telling her that I bought her book (Glam Knits) after you talked about how much you loved it and how you made that long sweater. I gave her your blog address too so she can see your sweater! I hope that is ok.
I love the colors. You must be cravin' some warm weather!
I like just the way you are wearing it! So pretty!
The tunic looks lovely on you. Very bright and spring like :)
What a cute tunic. Don't you love Amy Butler? Looks really super on you! Love the fabric choice, too.
Katie This is really cute and looks great on you! I have another one of her patterns maybe I'll have to give it a whirl now.
lovely, lovely, lovely and so not pregnant looking even remotely.
it looks so great on you! i have such a hard time choosing fabrics for clothing. i never would have thought to use that print, but it looks amazing in shirt form. nice job!
