I hope to make this next year, stash has now taken over the hallway so need a garden shed for storage? I am short so will experiment - flat, pretty buttons at midriff level would enhance the silhouette, as open vents add inches.

This is such a pretty tabard style tunic. At first glance I thought it looked as though it would take a long time because of the fine yarn, but I see the pattern uses the yarn double stranded. I probably wouldnt make mine quite as long as the pattern calls for, but that is just personal preference, and I am short.
