This blouse drove me crazy from start to end.
I made the collar myself (this part was not bad at all) and drafted the pattern for the blouse myself. what is there to draft in a plain sleeveless blouse, you ask? This blouse was supposed to have tulip sleeves. Here begins the story of making this blouse which nearly brought me to tears.

I tried a similar project, but I had a pattern for both the trim and tank, it gave me the blues and I gave up. Yours looks like s success! I like it.

Your blouse is lovely and the collar looks wonderful. Without reading your blog, I am guessing the type of fabric is what gave you the headache. But it still looks great and I think you will love wearing this top.

ha yes part of the problem was the fabric. I also almost threw the blouse out the window when I couldn’t get the sleeves to work
