Zooey's Summer Tunic

Inspired by a fun summer dress my girls loved to wear, and a yarn that was too irresistible to not buy. Starting out as a simple halter top tunic, with the added edge on the back making it a T-strap tunic. The length can be adjusted to make it tunic length or a dress length, or shorter if that is your preference. A play on my daughter’s name and the yarn that inspired this beautiful little tunic that any little girl would love.
