Tutorial: Easy 20-minute tunic

Melissa from Melly Sews is over at Riley Blake Designs with a tutorial showing how you can make this super easy tunic top in just 20 minutes. It’s just 2 simple pieces sewn with 4 seams plus optional hemming. (Knit fabrics won’t fray). You can make them in any size, womens or girls. Simple tops like this are my everyday go-to. They’re cute with shorts, skirts, jeans. And for winter, you can layer them up with a fitted t-shirt underneath.
