Description

My first blouse! It was really fun, but I found the directions to be somewhat confusing, so I made some of it up along the way. I took out one row of ruffles because I was feeling sort of clownish. I like the way it turned out, but I need to add another button to the bottom of it, so my stomach doesn't hang out!

Materials

cotton from purl, my new favorite fabric store

Way cute. I added another button to mine too. Good idea with the ruffles, I opted for only one row which ended up fairly sheik. I am wondering if you could answer a question of mine though- I am seeing some people who folded the ruffles lengthwise, and some who did not fold them in half. I think you are one who did not fold them in half, correct?

This looks so great! Very nice fabric and your ruffles are so neat! I'm making a JJ Blouse right now and mine are a little bit messy ;) Enero: I folded the ruffles!

This is super cute! It looks pretty on you. Great job for your first blouse, I wouldn't have guessed it to be!

finally sewing again

Everytime I see a JJ, I put a ticker on my todo list next to it. I have yet to see a bad one which is a testament to the pattern. Great job on the JJ blouse.

Well done! Your version is the best so far, and I've loved all of them. I'm making this at the moment too, and I'm going to follow the way you did your ruffles. I was planning on putting another button on too, you have confirmed my suspicions!
