As a pattern designer we are forever grateful for our testers, they help make a pattern even better than where it started.  Amanda of Turtle Birdies was a tester on both Ravenna and Ballard and is now currently testing my third pattern.  She is the type of tester that will be completely honest with you but in the most constructive and nice way possible because she truly wants to make your pattern better.

Amanda so graciously offered to join the blog tour today and you will love what she has done with the pattern.

Amanda decided to make the pattern as written even though she is shorter so that she would have an extra long tunic to wear with her leggings and boots.  What you may not be able to tell from the picture is that she made it out of an activewear knit, so she can wear it while practicing yoga!

You have to head over to Turtle Birdies to see how she wears the Ballard for both daily wear and yoga wear.
