Way rockin'!

It looks awesome! The ruffles look nicely done and i like the fabric you used! :]

I think your very brave to use satin!! I don't have the patience for slippery fabrics...... Your JJ looks great, don't be so hard on yourself!! I'm wearing mine today:)

It's very pretty. I'm trying to see every stuff up as a lesson learned. A bit of swearing tends to always make everything better - and the sewing machine and blouse won't hear you so they won't be offended!

wow, what a great result with such a slippery fabric!

I think the sleeves don´t hang down. Great blouse!

You have done a great job and the colour is stunning on you.

It looks beautiful on you. The colour is stunning. You've been tackling some challenging fabrics lately and always come out the winner.

I think the sleeves look good. I am at the moment sewing a tunic with a satin I got for 2 dollars in the thrift store. I wanted to learn something sewing with satin. I did: it is a frustrating fabric and ravels crazily. So after experimenting a bit, I went to the library for some help. For hems the book says that hem stitching will be only invisible if attached to underlining. If the garnment is not underlined, it gives only one option: rolled hem. I don't think I can do that (the book explains an "easy way" for doing this with a serger. If you own one, send me a pm) The book says topstitched hem in satin will pucker, I tried and it puckers. I am going to do it anyway, but if this was a serious project in satin silk I will definetly bring it to a dressmaker to finish. From my experiments so far, relaxing the tension on the top and a longer stitch (3) puckers the less. Best of luck!!

I think you're very brave to try this in satin, and I admire your perseverance to finish it. Sewing satin is so frustrating. I don't think the sleeves hang to much, but I'm afraid that the proble you have with arm movement means you should have a little more room at the upper back. If you didn't clip your seam allowances, try to redo those seams at the back in such a way that you add a little bit of space there (if possible, because old stitching tends to show in satin). For the hem, I've got another suggestion you could try: take some bias tape, open one of the folds and stitch in the fold along the bottom edge of your shirt, press all of the bias tape to the inside and topstitch along the folded upper edge of the bias tape. This should prevent puckering because the tape will be a bit firmer and less slippery than the satin and because it's on the bias you can shape it along curved hems

Very well done! If you plan to top-stitch the hem, perhaps you should try a special presser foot for your sewing machine, that is called a hemmer. I think a 3-4 mm wide hemmer should be appropriate with this fabric.

Love your blouse. The red satin is hot and i think it looks very pretty on you. You get a pat in the back for working with satin. I'm not that brave yet.

Waow you made it! it is absolutly gorgeous!

I think it is very romantic. Congrats for finishing the difficult project. Satin is challenging.

Thanks ladies! I feel like a brave knight just because I fought the satin ;) Very nice of you :)
