Halla Sunny Day for a Fall Day

I love the Halla Sunny Day Top & Dress pattern. The silhouette is figure flattering and I love the yoke - it's perfect for using scraps. I recently bought this Talavera Tiles print from Spoonflower to make my Aunt a shirt and had just enough left over to use on the Sunny Day Top.



The Sunny Day has a Shirt, Tunic, and Dress options. I decided to try the tunic length - all my previous versions have been the shirt length. I'm not sure how I like the tunic length on my short self.


The Sunny Day has two styles of sleeve: a fitted and a looser version with an elasticized hem. Since I was using scraps I picked the fitted sleeves.


I also hacked the Sunny Day to have a back yoke. I've done this on several that I have made and love the little added pop to the back.


The Tunic length covers my behind which makes it perfect for wearing with leggings or slim fit pants. Here I am wearing the Love Notions Sabrina Slims made with a bronze ponte.


When I add a back yoke, I also back my bodice piece wider to add some gathers. My neck has been bothering me lately and I have been seeing an acupuncturist and chiropractor. At my last acupuncture appointment, they did cupping which left two large red marks as seen in the photo below. I'm happy to say that I am finally getting some relief and should be 100% better soon.


I love the fall colors in the Talavera Tile print and was so happy to have this dark teal jersey in my stash to go with it. However, Fall still has not made it permanently to North Texas. All pdf patterns are currently 20% off with the code PUMPKIN at Halla Patterns!
