The straight sleeve has multiple long cutting lines, and additional cutting lines for short and cap length. The straight sleeve is finished with a hem.

It can be made in a range of depths, and sweet ribbon ties or a little button/loop fastener can be added.

This was so easy to put together. The neckline opening is cut a bit to deep for me (had heart surgery and my scars show) so I just added a ribbon tie to the top and it keeps the opening closed. Digging through my stash this evening to find more fabrics to make more!

Nice pattern and easy to sew. I made matching Rosetta bags for an upscale beach bag and cover up.

I have used this pattern many times to make tops as gifts for other women (I think I have made all the sizes by now). The instructions are very simple to follow. I do find the princess seam challenging from time to time to get the two sides looking balanced, but I think it has more to do with the material than the actual pattern. I would recommend the pattern to anyone who is new to sewing - as long as they use a good quality material (not flimsy poly-cotton) for this. I also found the opening at the neckline a little bit too low for my taste and I have modified it to make it higher up (with a shorter facing). The top looked good even with the modifications made to it.

Love this pattern and how it turned out.

I didn't make one yet because I can't decide which fabric to use :) this is a lovely pattern with great instructions though and I so want one to match my daughter's one!
Bieniek, Jenny - July 20th, 2012
Love, love love this pattern. The style is timeless and the pattern is very easy to follow. I've made 3 and will make many more!

TOTALLY AWESOME! Everything from CarlaC is worth every penny. I have made myself 10 of these tunics for work as a "scrub top" without pockets and they are so attractive. I wear them during the day with pants, capris or shorts and then throw on my scrub pants for work later.
King, Deborah - June 15th, 2012
Carla's patterns are always very clear & easy to follow! I made this out of flannel with a pair of Carla's easy fit adult pants for cozy pajamas. :)

First pattern I've made for myself. Comes together very easily.
Mann, Camie - March 30th, 2012
Made one for my mom but she decided it wasn't her style. I enjoyed making it but I decided it looks a bit too much like a nurses frock or scrubs when you use all one fabric. Next time I will definitely use some coordinating fabrics.
dale, anna - March 28th, 2012
Great instructions!! Easy to make.
thornbrugh, christy - March 23rd, 2012

Laney, Melissa - March 16th, 2012
I am finally going to spoil myself with an adult CarlaC pattern. I am in the middle of it and is once again so easy a monkey could do it, because Carla makes it that way!
Bella - March 14th, 2012

Great pattern for plus sized women!! Comfortable and hides the belly fat.
Renee - August 1st, 2001
Wonderful pattern by Carla C and Sis Boom. All the pieces match up so easily and the instructions are great. I wish all patterns were this easy to follow.
marlo troy - August 1st, 2001
This is another amazing pattern by Carla C and Sis boom fabric. It is so easy to put together and fun to make. There are so many options to choose from you can't just make one! Thanks Carla!
Heather - August 1st, 2001
This was the first thing I've ever made for myself and it was a breeze! This pattern is so simple and fast to put together! As usual, Carla's instructions are crystal clear. There are lots of options for sleeves, and for contrasting fabrics. The combinations are endless! If you're looking for an easy pattern to begin sewing for yourself- look no further!
pookie - August 1st, 2001
I love the outcome of this shirt, I don't sew for adults so this was new for me. I have always like the look of these types of shirts. Mine came out nice. I made a minor adjustment to the sleeves but that is the beauty of this pattern its versatile. I wore it out and my friends thought it was store bought... :-) makes me feel good. I got the child pattern today and my 3 girls and I will be matching, I can't wait. thanks for this wonderful pattern...pookie
Yellow Rose - August 1st, 2001
I made one like this in the 70's except the pattern was full length and called a caftan; I will have to dig that pattern out and shorten it like this.
Clodagh Cahill - August 1st, 2001
This is my first women's top and I am glad I chose this lovely pattern. As usual Carla C has such detailed easy to follow instructions. It mentions in the booklet that the pattern runs large and I know now that I will go down a size next time for a more fitted tunic. I am off to get the Sophie tunic now for my daughter! If you are a beginner then don't hesitate to try this one, you will squeal with delight at how easy it comes together.
