I am a big fan of summer dresses. Really dresses of any kind, but as soon as it starts getting warm out I like to whip out my favorite 'pantsless' outfits. I wanted a pretty specific dress this year though, so instead of shopping online or trying on dozens of dresses in stores, I decided to make my own. These instructions are for people of all ages and sizes because this dress does not require a pattern. Just make sure you have a measuring tape so you can take your own unique measurements.

Tunics are a great and easy item of clothing to own because they can be dressy (depending on the fabric) or casual. You can pair them with leggings, jeans, boots, sandals, and…. pretty much anything. This tunic that I've designed and created is longer in the back and shorter in the front for an edgy look. The sleeves are loose and flowy, making the tunic comfortable to wear.

A hot clothing item for the summer months is the crop top. You see them in all the trendy stores, and probably think to yourself, how easy would it be to make? Well, fortunately they are easy to make, and don't require a lot of fabric. You can make them out of the majority of apparel fabrics, but in this tutorial I chose jersey knit because it stretches and is a lightweight fabric for the warm weather.
