Plinka Pants
Pieced tunic with bodice and skirt, an under layer which is optional, open neck as for a pinafore, and pocket.
FABRIC
44" or 54" wide fabric. Light linen, rayon, cotton voile. We have used a gauze for the underskirt, but it would be cute in a coordinated print or solid in cotton.
Options for the Audra are revising the neckline or armhole for your shape and preference. The under skirt and pocket are optional. Either bind the neckline and armholes as we have done, or leave for a raw edged finish!
