Made for Mermaids Mya Tunic

I sewed up a size five width, size six length. We were instructed to sew up two garments in the course of testing. The black cupcake one is curved hemline, tunic length, flutter shoulders, 3/4 sleeve, banded neckline. The Olaf and Sven one is top length, double ruffle sleeves and banded neckline. (I should note that my pictured tops are of the first go-around. The neckband was revised during the course of testing for better on/off).

The Made for Mermaids Mya Top, Tunic and Dress is a super simple sew. It's a great wardrobe staple with a lot of options included in the pattern. That means you get a lot of bang for you PDF sewing pattern bucks! I sewed up the cupcake Mya Top, Tunic and Dress in about 20 mins.- no joke! It took me longer to print, assemble, tape and cut out the pattern pieces, than it did to sew up the actual top! I love a quick sew!

Also, the Mya Top, Tunic and Dress isn't a fabric hog and the ruffles and flutters are a great way to use of those odd bits of knit scraps. The Mya Top, Tunic and Dress looks great worn out, or layered under a cute jumper, or with a skirt (say, the Made for Mermaids Samantha skirt...? ;-). 

So, in conclusion, the Made for Mermaids Mya Top, Tunic and Dress is a simple, versatile, wardrobe staple pattern. There are lots of variations and ways to make each garment you sew up, unique!!

Thank you to the whole Made for Mermaids team for allowing me to test this wonderful pattern. Good luck with the pattern release!! Sew much fun!
