Sewing instructions for the Judita tunic

The Judita sewing pattern can be styled in many different ways, either as a long blouse over slim trousers, or as a shift dress with boots and thick tights.

Length at back center = 85 - 89cm

Judita was sewn from silk in this tutorial.

→ To the "Judita" sewing pattern

Materials needed:

We recommend a flowing fabric such as viscose or silk.

Sizes 34-42

  • Outer fabric 2.00 m (140 cm wide)

Sizes 44-50

Outer fabric 2.20 m (140 cm wide)

Cut:

Seam allowances are included - 1cm wide or as indicated by the marking notches!

Cut out the pattern pieces from your outer fabric. Place the fabric right side up. Align the selvedges parallel to the center so you can lay the back and front pieces on the fold. All pattern pieces should be laid with the printed side facing up. Always align the grainline arrow in the same direction on all pieces and parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all notches from the pattern by making a 3mm snip with scissors or using chalk, and mark the ends of any darts. Snip the seam allowance on the fold, as this is always the center point. Markings define the positions of dart ends, pocket positions, etc. Transfer these either with chalk or pins.

You will need the following fabric:

  • 1x back piece in half
  • 1x front part in breakage
  • 2x sleeves, mirrored
  • 1x front hem facing at the break
  • 1x rear hem facing in the break
  • 1x neckline strip

Sewing instructions:

Seam allowances are included - 1cm wide or as indicated by the marking notches!

To sew this blouse you will need a sewing machine and an overlock sewing machine, or alternatively the zigzag stitch of your sewing machine to finish the cut edges.

The colored lines in the pictures show you, in addition to the description, where to sew a seam or glue something.
When sewing, pay attention to the seam allowance included in the pattern. Seam allowances not specifically marked are 1 cm wide!
Have fun sewing!

First, create the three pleats in the front neckline according to the pattern and the arrows in the photo. Secure the pleats with a 0.5 cm wide basting stitch.

Then close the shoulder seam right sides together, finish the seam and iron it into the back piece.

Next, sew the sleeve to the straight armhole right sides together, finish the seam and press it towards the sleeve.

Sew the hem panels to the respective body part, right sides together, neaten the seam and iron them into the body.

Now you can close the sleeve and side seams in one go, right sides together, making sure the cross seams meet. Finish the raw edges of this seam and press it to the back.

Sew the neckline strip together at the narrow ends, right sides facing, to form a circle. Press this seam open and fold the strip in half so that the raw edges meet. Sew this doubled strip to the neckline, right sides facing. You can align the seam of the strip with the left shoulder seam. Then sew the seam flat. This method not only makes the final pressing easier but also ensures that the facing, if not topstitched separately, automatically folds to the inside and doesn't roll out. Only the facing is topstitched close to the edge of the seam allowances. The topstitching line will then only be visible from the wrong side of the fabric, not from the right side.

Fold the neckline strip inwards and topstitch 0.5 cm wide.

Finally, fold the hem and sleeve hem in by 2 x 1cm and stitch it all the way around.
