Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I had this vintage gingham that my grandmother gave to me before she passed away that I was determined to use it – however I didn’t want it to look too country-western so I decided to make this simple one shouldered blouse out of it. I originally had some vintage lace trip I was going to use too but I needed 3.40m for the frill but I didn’t quite have enough so I found some cream crocheted ribbon at the haberdashery which I used instead, and I think was better in the end. I made it an inch bigger at the side seams than I normally would so I didn’t have to bother putting in a zip. All up it took me about half a day to make – I cut out the pattern and material the night before and then by lunchtime the next day I had a new top!

Yours is by far the most beautiful top of all the other versions, including the original pattern itself!

I fell in love with it when I saw it in the Burda magazine but I was worried it wouldn’t look as good with short hair but I think it’s fine. Thanks!

Thank you! It was very tricky to take photos of it because of the strong sunshine. I don’t usually like to edit my photographs so much but I think it turned out good :D

What I really like in the picture -apart from the blouse ofcourse – is the sunshine… What I like most about the blouse is that it brings your grandma back to you… I have my grandma’s threads in her box and it means a lot… Very cute top!!!

I was really pleased with how the sunshine gave a neat glow to the picture. Yes definitely! I was lucky she gave me a lot of material and trims that are super gorgeous. I’ll definitely get on to making up some more of her materials. Thank you!
