Hi! I have been doing my best to get some weather appropriate everyday pieces sewn up lately.
You may have noticed I tend to lean towards fancier dresses... the kind that are considered everyday in Mad Men and the Stepford Wives. Although I take no issue to being overdressed (it's always better than under-dressed) I am ready to explore sewing "normal" clothes.
I mainly sew skirts and pair them with t-shirts for daily wear but I became bored of the t-shirt look. I am finally ready to expand my blouse collection. I have only made one "spaghetti strap blouse" and one 3/4 sleeve knit top.
The pattern I chose was New Look A6286 in view A
The instructions were easy to follow and the construction was very simple. I really enjoyed making it.
It ties in the back and has a loop button at the top.
I had no trouble with the fit. The garment measurements listed on the back of the package were perfectly matched to my finished product. I love the shape and feel it is very flattering. The design is so feminine and perfect to welcome the season of Spring into my wardrobe.

Well done you! That blouse (or gorgeous micro-mini-dress if one wished) looks beautiful,
ReplyDeleteand you look beautiful modelling it!!!
I love the complementary colour contrast between the green belt and the floral print of the blouse - it looks very pretty!
