Red and white dot flirty Big Bow blouse- My first Burda Style project completed. Tracing and Taping not as bad as I imagined. LOL.
I changed the sleeves to flutter sleeves. Kind of gives it a retro romantic vibe. Other than that, no changes.
Polyester crepe (I think)

Thanks,
I have a very short attention span and can’t get involved in sewing anything with too many pieces or steps right now…This one seemed perfect with only a few pieces and steps.
Can’t wait to see your first project * I know it will be fabulous!

Thanks Deanna,
When I picked up this fabric …… I just knew that it had to be a tie front …I had picked up another pattern but when I ran across this pattern it just seemed perfect….

Thank you kisses. The little red dots and the big bow were fun to wear and I like the way they are a little dramatic but not over the top.

You’ ve been very busy:) This is lovely too! I love the big and small dots and the giant pussy bow, I also like the flared sleeves! I’ve made this pattern twice but never with this huge necktie, so it is still in my wish list:)
