Designers Introduction
This very popular pattern was originally drafted for the Kish Chrysalis girls but after receiving dozens
of requests, I redesigned it for our sweet Ellowyne. It is simple in its construction, but your choice of
fabrics and trims will make it special. It can be as complex as you decide to make it by using fabric
embellishments and decorations! I know you'll love the finished ensemble. Have fun!

Fabric and Notions

1/2 yard each of two contrasting medium weight fabrics such as cotton print, dupioni silks,
Chinese brocades, etc.

3 small buttons for the Tunic.

3 medium buttons for the Vest.

Medium weight fusible interfacing for the hat.

Beads, embroidery, trims, flowers, tassels, etc. for embellishment.

1/4" elastic for the Pants.

Notes:

All seam allowances are inch except where noted in the steps explanations.
You will need to cut a 10 by 3/4 bias strip for the Tunic button loops.

You will need to cut a second 10 by 3/4 bias strip for the Vest button loop

You will need to cut a 20 by 1 on the grain of fabric for the Hat tie.

The Tunic and Vest are self lined.
