Adjusted Tunic Pattern Pieces Guide

This document provides adjusted pattern pieces for McCall's pattern 4745 for making a tunic. It includes 13 main pattern pieces and two collar pieces. The green and blue lines on the collar pieces indicate pieces that are cut on the fold of fabric. The red arrow shows how far the collar edge needs to be angled back to allow the edges to meet correctly. Instructions are given for folding and arranging the pattern pieces on the fabric for cutting, depending on whether pieces have one or two needed or are cut on the fold.

Pattern Adjustments to McCall’s 4745

“Tunic Pattern Pieces”

By Char Tozard
(Chuck Foltz)
Here are the adjusted tunic pattern pieces for general reference.
Note: Any odd positioned white strips are just where I taped together
pieces of tracing paper to cover the distance I needed to draw the
complete pattern piece.

You should end up with these 13 pattern pieces,


less the collar which is on the next image.
Here we have two pattern pieces for the standing collar. One is for the
outside of the collar while the other is the self facing and pattern for
the iron on interfacing. If you use a sewn in interfacing you will want
to make the pattern full dimensions to allow for sewing into the
seam allowances.

The Green Lines above indicate that these pieces are laid on a fold
of the fabric so when cut they will be twice the length of the pattern
piece (in other words the pattern is half the finished piece).
The Blue Dotted Line is the dimension for the iron-on interfacing.
The Red Line with the arrow indicates how far the front edge of the
collar has to be angled back to allow both edges to meet correctly in
the front. Note: If your pattern has a collar with a rounded corner at
the top you will have to square it off before changing this angle.
I have folded my 60” wide wool fabric down the center of its
grain and placed the tunic pieces that have two of each element
in the construction, i.e. breasts, arms, front and sides of skirts to
commence cutting.

Pieces that have only one in the pattern set, i.e. Back, back skirt
panel and front covering (“V” shaped) panel, are placed on an
unfolded full width of the cloth for cutting.

If your fabric width is less than 60” you will have to arrange the
doubles, on-folds, and singles as appropriate.
