Beach Cover-Up Tunic

A women's straight pull-on tunic with a deep V-neck finished by a wide fused neck band, one-piece set-in sleeves and a front and back each cut on the fold. Only five pattern pieces.

When To Wear

On the beach and at the resort over a swimsuit.
In summer as a light dress or over trousers or leggings.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, loose cut with no darts or waist shaping.

Length: Around the knee.

Neckline: Deep V at the front, round at the back, finished with a double-layer band (front and back band pieces joined at the shoulders, fused, faced and attached in one seam).

Closure: None; the tunic is pulled on over the head.

Sleeves: Set-in, one-piece, narrow, ending just above the wrist, hemmed with a 2 cm allowance.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, no centre back seam.

Finishing: Overlocked seams; hem turned up 2 cm and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Straight seams, set-in sleeves and a faced neck band with a V point; the band is the only detail that needs care.

Fabric Recommendations

Thin fabrics of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (front and back neck band)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: tunic hem and sleeve hem allowance – 2 cm, all other seam allowances 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Front – 1 piece on fold
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Front placket – 2 pieces
- Back placket – 2 pieces
From fusible interfacing:
