I am making view F in the topmost left corner, with ruffled sleeves and collar. As I have a full bust, I have learned that in blouse patterns I am probably always going to have to add to the bust line, as most patterns are designed for a B size cup. I am still learning slowly to fit patterns though in everything I have to have my sewing instructor help me out. As you can see, we slashed the original pattern (my instructor does not like to trace off patterns) and added width at the bust line and to the sides:
We weren't very neat about it were we? |
As I've only sewed the front to back bodice at this point I decided not to unveil it just yet. But here's a peek at the bodice so you can see the fabric:
It's a bit like a dotted swiss and is somewhat sheer. It cost all of $1 per yard - I've mentioned this before - at the FIDM Scholarship Store! That's my kind of deal.
I'll be working on this more in the coming weeks now that the worst is over and hope to have it finished soon.
Have a great weekend, filled with crafting,
