I’ve been craving to try JJ Blouse in a black/white Gingham check.
Sewing the ruffles was tricky, but I like ruffles so much !
Not sure though if the outcome is exactly what I wanted or intented, but now I’ve got a perfect piece for next sommer picnic parties.
Soft cotton fabric that has a linen feel.

Love it! I wouldn’t have guessed that the JJ would look so fantastic in gingham. Great job matching the plaid too.
