I was gifted this fabric by Minerva.com link below
This is the most gorgeous blouse ever. I say that because this is so far away from my usual style it's untrue. But, here I am wearing a blouse with puff sleeves and loving it.
The printed chambray is just perfect don't you agree? Here is the link to order it from ( there are other designs too)
The pattern is Butterick B6731 Butterick pattern
I did reduce the width on the sleeves by a few inches, well I need to take baby steps! I had to adjust the shoulders as I do on every single garment I make,I have narrow shoulders. I lowered the back neckline by 3/4" and whilst doing all this I kept trying it on to make sure that there neckline would not gape.
I also thought it neater to do the ties with double fabric, stitched together wrong sides out and then turned the right way. On a printed fabric where the reverse is on view this looks way more professional!
This was an easy enough top to stitch, I always personalise whatever I am seeing by tweaking the pattern here and there, the sleeves for example.
This is fabulous fabric, easy to work with, easy to wear
( it would make a lovely dress I think 💡)
Well, I am off out looking super trendy in my new blouse. Say hello if you recognise me.
This will also be on my own blog shortly
