Perhaps I am high on iron fumes but I don’t know if I’ve ever been more pleased with something I’ve made.
Pattern: Simplicity 4077 – version E with no ruffle
Fabric: Poly/Cotton from Fabricville in Gatineau
As I mentioned before I was completely taken with Pamela Wynn’s many versions of this blouse and went straight out to buy the pattern after I saw her latest creation.
This seemed to come together so quickly. I can’t wait to make many, many more with all the fabric I’ve been accruing.
I love this fabric and I was so pleased to find that it’s not as sheer as I thought. It would suck to have such a breezy blouse to wear in the summer and then have to wear a camisole. However, I would not recommend using such a lightweight fabric if you’re not totally confident in your sewing skills. Every time I had to rip stitches, which was unfortunately often, I ended up with holes. I like to think of them as vents

Great job–it looks wonderful! I’ve been thinking about this pattern a lot, too, but I’m not yet confident enough in my sewing skills to attempt clothing. Soon!

Oh, I love this! It’s making me a little cold to look at it right now, but I think I’ll have to make one for summer.
