Inspiration...Popover Shirt

Here is a perfect top for everyday use.  Here is that tunic:


This is the Wool-Cashmere Flannel Pocket Popover Shirt by Lafayette 148.  Price tag:$ 1,198.00.  Details:  Relaxed shirt, drop shoulder long sleeve, pleated cuff, pullover, flap patch pockets, high-low shirttail hem, dry clean only, 94% wool/ 4% cashmere/ 2% elastane.

That price tag is a whole lot out of my price point but it is reasonably easy to replicate.  I have picked a pattern that is actually in my pattern stash and is not exactly like the inspiration pattern but it is a tunic.  Here is the line drawing:



This is the Liesel & Co Galley Tunic & Dress pattern.  This is a relaxed-fit pull-on tunic.  It does not have the dropped shoulders or the pockets on the tunic front.  In looking at the material list, it might not be appropriate for the flannel but I think I would try it if it was not a heavy flannel.

Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.

Happy Stitching!
