Tunic Bible Workshop is coming to Plano! We are so excited to be hosting this event and we’ve been busy getting ready!
On July 14, 2018 we had the Tunic Bible Fitting workshop. Plano ASG members tried on samples from the “Tunic Bible” in both woven and knit. Everyone made notes on how to create the perfect fitting tunic ahead of the workshop. If you would like some of Markita’s fitting notes about this pattern, check out this link. Here is a great planning sheet for your tunic sewing.

The Tunic Bible event was a really great workshop with personable educators who provided lots of beautiful samples and filled us with ideas for what is possible. We had plenty of room to work and the camaraderie between sewists was always pleasant and encouraging. I am so glad I could attend.
