DIRECTIONS:

    NOTE: Directions are for size 6. Adjust yardage and pattern pieces for smaller/larger sizes. Fabric shown is non-fraying stretch. If using a fabric that frays, add 5/8" to the bottom of each extra flounce and make a narrow hem.

    Enlarge patterns.
    Cut out pattern pieces as directed PLUS add one more #8 front flounce (to be used as bottom center flounce, one center top flounce and one top flounce).
    If using a fraying fabric, narrow hem flounces.
    With fabric marker or chalk, draw flounce placement lines onto tunic front (#6).
    Lightly gather top of bottom center flounce 1/2" from edge and stitch top edge of flounce to front along placement line; baste side edges together and remove gather stitches.
    Repeat with center top flounce and then top flounce; matching top flounce to neck edge.
    Continue with pattern directions for View D Tunic.
