Description

After sewing most of this blouse and the collar, I was stuck because my machine wouldn’t sew buttonholes, so this was in my unfinished project drawer for quite a while…
A few days ago I decided that I want to wear it already so I gave handmade buttonholes a try! Then I decided to make my blouse look more professional, so I finished the hems with self fabric bias tape.
After all the work I put into it, I am very happy with my new blouse! :)

    Great top! The handsewn buttonholes are so awesome, especially in the contrasting thread.

    I really like the neckline, and buttons, and fabric :)

    It’s so cute, love the polkadot fabric you used for it, pretty chic blouse. Nice job with the buttonholes.
