I think I fell in love with a pattern. It hasn't happened since I made my first Macaron dress, and now I'm head over heels.
Do you want to know why? Let's see: this blouse has a peter pan collar (AND it's asymmetrical), it has a button placket that it's easy to sew and it's really cute, it has no closures, the fit is great (thank you, double-pointed darts in the back) and it's extremely versatile.
The pattern is from "La mia boutique" and the only modification I made was to shorten the sleeves and put elastic at their bottom (instead of another plaquet).
For my first go at it, I chose this super cute viscose (if I'm not wrong, it's the same thing as rayon... please let me know) with fuchsia apples printed on it. At first I was afraid it would look too much like a pajama top (that's also why I shortened the sleeves), but as soon as I've tried it with some of my clothes, we became best friends.
Another great thing: it was extremely fast to sew! I tried out some new techiniques for me (the button plaquet, the bias bound neckline and double-pointed darts) and they turned out great. I was so impressed with the finished blouse that I immediately made another one, with some modifications (coming soon).
Although I made some mistakes (the collar is covering the placket, the neckline binding is not perfect), I adore my new little creature.
And now I feel so good! First, the Stretchy Jenny (thanks for your lovely comments! as some of you pointed out, I'm actually getting so much wear out of it already), now this adorable blouse... I hope I can keep my sewing mood on this track!
It's really lovely and you look wonderful in it. I LOVE the collar! x
ReplyDeleteThe fit looks great on you ! Congrats on this project !
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I can see why you're in love! The fabric is adorable, too!

ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!
I wanted to get my hands on the wonderful patterns you got from La mia Boutique. Problem is, I do not read/speak Italian. Are the instructions in this magazine in English too? Will I be able to wing it?
Thanks for your time!
