Buy the Kenya Tunic sewing pattern from The Pattern Cutters. The Kenya is a smart-casual, pop-on-and-go top. It has a round neckline with a plunging V down to a point that’s not too low. The side splits make this tunic loose fitting without being large, so it’s comfortable to wear, especially when sitting. There are three different sleeve options so you can create the tunic in the style you prefer. Sleeve 1 is a ¾ length gathered sleeve that you can either bind or elasticate, Sleeve 2 is a ¾ length sleeve that you can bunch up to a half sleeve with a tab and button, and Sleeve 3 is a short sleeve with a simple double turned hem.
