Refashion as old as my son: Sorbetto tunic

I finally get to finish my very first attempt at garment sewing, yay! I cut the fabric for another pattern longggg time ago, thinking that I will learn to sew my own clothes during my maternity leave like 18 months++ ago but got cold feet and put it away. When I finally picked up courage to learn to sew clothes again last August I never looked back and never stop sewing, but only now able to (find the time and idea) to close this chapter...


I used the Sorbetto pattern, and made it roomier at the bottom and added the white fabric (and used the same white fabric to bind the neck and armhole) to add length making it more of a tunic.

Can't find even one pic of me in the original dress (coz it sure wasn't flattering to me) so the following amateur drawing is approximately how it looked like:

Love that you drew your 'before' pic! You can't beat the Sorbetto! I love your extra wide bottom hem, very nice fabric too
