Cheyenne tunic

This is my first time using a Hey June pattern and I found it to be a really great pattern, there’s a photo Sew Along on the Hey June website so you can follow along daily if you want to and a Facebook group if you need to ask for any help. I made View A which is the long sleeve casual button up shirt with pockets, there’s also the tunic version with a collar stand and placket. I made this in a size XS as my bust & hip measurements fitted into this and I’m really pleased with the fit, it has a really nice fitted shape. I usually lengthen my sleeves by an inch or so as I have long arms but I didn’t need to with this, the sleeves are meant to be long which may not suit if you normally need to shorten them?! The shirt has French seams throughout which although time consuming, they make the inside look so professional and a lovely shaped curved hem. The pattern is well constructed, the pieces fit seamlessly together and the sew along instructions give you that extra help when you can’t quite get your head around the printed instructions! I did struggle with the sleeve placket for a while…. I will definitely be making this pattern again, I definitely want to make the tunic version for a summer top. I did take longer than one to two days though but hopefully next time this will be how long it’ll take!
