Lace Long Sleeve Flowy Blouse
I'm finally back to writing on this blog after being busy for two months, I still sew some small items and mend a few clothes but haven't sewn new clothes. Until two days before Valentine's arrived, I felt like I had to sew a new blouse to wear to dinner. The blouse had to be in the shade of pink, so I checked my stash and found 2 yards of lace fabric in fuchsia that I don't remember when I bought it. After I had the fabric, I started making the pattern (based on my previous self-drafted blouse pattern) I modified the pattern into a flowy blouse. The pattern was simple, a round neckline, gathered front and back yokes and gathered sleeves with elastic bands. Here is the pattern that I drafted, And after the pattern was done, I cut the fabric as usual. The sewing process was fun and turned out to be easier than I imagined. I sewed the neckline front and back yokes and then attached them to the gathered bodices as shown below. After that, I sewed the shoulder lines togeth
You had me at LUCKY CAT! The print is just too cute Hana! Isn't it the best when you find 'the' pattern that is made for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue. It is the best thing ever because I don't need to worry to trace the pattern and work on the fitting :) :)
DeleteAdorable. Love the cat fabric. This pattern is so cute on you.. Proud you and family had a fun trip.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy. I wish I had more animal printed fabric in my stash :)
DeleteI didn't realise that this was a good luck dress - I had no idea of the significance of the lucky cat. So it is lovely you found the fabric. Shifts do suit you, you are right. And blind hems are such a great solution to hemming a garment if you don't have enough fabric. You look lovely - looks a fun dress worn with sneakers.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah Liz, I didn't know about the lucky cat until I lived in China. Some people believed in that :)
DeleteThe fabric with the printed cats is really sweet and you look so beautiful. I wish you nice Summer Holiday!
