I am a brand new sewer and I’m loving it! This is my second real project and my first blouse. I tried really hard to make the pattern flow correctly. I used the size 36 pattern but thank goodness for the seam allowance! I had to loosen the seams a bit. I used a stiffer cotton than the sample…I am super pleased with the results and I will wear this a lot!
