vintage may: bunny tunic

[Re-posting this from when I shared it as part of Vintage May over at Craftiness is Not Optional, I had asked about a pattern, and I'm working on putting more of my own spin on it and will keep you updated - thanks for your enthusiam!  I also have a fun tutorial coming up next week, I can't wait to share it - there are zippers involved!!! wohoo!]

I gave you a little hint earlier this month.  I was digging through my brain and wanted something simple, a fun little tunic.  It has a retro/vintage vibe to it, especially if you change up the fabrics.  I was to make about one hundred of these, they were so fun to make!

I think of little details are what makes garments really stand out.  Any opportunity to add a different print or trim really makes it so much more special.  I added a hem facing, button placket facing and bias tape trim for this tunic.

The pleats at the front and back of this tunic make it really cute without being frilly or overly girly.  And I think the sleeveless option really makes it comfortable to wear as well as making it something you can layer with a long sleeve shirt for colder weather.

These bunnies are to die for!  It's an older print by Anna Griffin and I just love it.  Those little bunnies make me happy! And the bias trim/placket fabric is by Kokka.

If anyone is interested, I was considering turning this into a pattern perhaps with sizes 12 months - 5/6T  Let me know in the comments, I think can be a really versatile pattern with fun options!
