Lisette Portfolio Tunic

This top is from the new "Lisette" line from Simplicity patterns (2245). I made this in a cotton shirting that I treated myself too. It's really light and has a nice drape. It'll be great for the summer.



Next time I think I will try the no pocket view. The pockets are cute, but not that usable unless you use a heavier fabric. Also, I don't want to use the pockets and add bulk.



Normally I'm not a fan of raglan sleeves. I like things a bit structured. However, they work on this top. Maybe its the neckline detail that adds that je ne sais quoi? maybe its the cuff. I'm just saying, give 'em a chance.



A nitpick: I had to seam rip the neckline where the two button loops are due to there barely being room for the loops. Be careful if you make this top to make sure your loop isn't caught in your neck stitching.

Hi Casno,

I sold it to the previous commenter, Laura O'Grady. Thanks for asking though, and good luck in finding a copy. It would make a good smock.

Brigitte, thanks for posting, but that is not the same pattern. It leads to the updated version of the original. When one clicks on , the link shows Liesl + Co.'s new version of their original. It's probably because of copyright issues with Simplicity. Unfortunate that they don't re-release it.

It is very nice. Could it be made of linen too?
