Red Poppy Tunic

This fabric reminds Rae of Spring poppies in bloom in southern France; in fact, she found the fabric at a sewing show in France. The tunic features the V Neckline Variation front and back for Carpe Diem Dress & Tunic with a special twist; instead of cutting on the fold, she cut two fronts in order to create center front seam. Red piping was inserted along the V Neckline and into the center front and back seams, providing an important accent to bring attention to those red poppies. No doubt Rae will share her tips and step-by-steps in a future blog post, but for now you can study the same technique in a knit top in Floral Fabulousness and Knit Print Magic.
