Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I love this color! It’s so obnoxiously cheery! For this blouse I used the BurdaStyle pattern 09/2012 #118 in a medium weight cotton jersey fabric. And, because I am terrified of making button-holes, I used snaps instead of buttons for the closures.

Thanks! No, I couldn’t possibly be that fast! It was in the September issue of BurdaStyle magazine, but I only got around to it a couple weeks ago :-)
