Make A Garment A Month - February Plan..

By -
Happy Monday to you all!
My February plan for MAGAM Challenge will be a very simple yet elegant everyday blouse based on Burdastyle pattern 08/2012 - Printed Blouse 109. For the fabric, I will use my pink viscose that I bought last month. The thread and the buttons are from my stash.

So, I am curious and can not wait to see how the blouse will turn out.
 
Happy sewing!
