summer blouse

The other new book I got was Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross, projects you can do in a weekend. I made the Summer Blouse from the book. It was very simple and came together with no trouble at all. I haven't sewn many clothes for me successfully, so I was really happy with this. It was so easy to follow the directions. The patterns (included in the book) are also basic enough that they lend themselves to variation, which I love.

I used Ikea fabric with some red linen scraps as trim. The linen isn't that great for this use, though, because it frays, but it's so nice and soft. I also did 3/4 length sleeves.

Cute! You are always sew inspirational to me....*groans at her own bad joke*

Also, your blog's new math-centric verification process seems perhaps to be a little out of character with your blog's probable audience. It would be more appropriate to have potential commentators translate a little Latin? Or name a 13th century composer?

heehee, don't tempt me.

Very cute! Ohhh...Latin or composers.....I would learn something interesting! I'd never be able to leave a comment, but I'd learn something interesting! LOL

It looks so stylish, DiBer! I love the red trim against the white and black pattern.
