Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this blouse using the JJ pattern for the bodice and changed the neckline to a v-shape. Instead of a collar I used a long piece of the fabric to make the bow. This is the first time I have done french seams and I am really pleased with the result.
Material Notes
1.5 metres of cotton from Leeds market, cost £1.50.

Aren’t bow blouses just the best? I love the fabric you used here. Lovely job!

Love everything about it: the bow, the print, the fact that I saw it first on the Spring Top Sewalong… Good luck there! (I’m submitting there as well).

The curved v-shape of the neckline is so pretty, and I just love subtle animal prints like that!

Thank you. French seaming is not as difficult as you may think and it is a lot less messy.

Thanks dtale. I will let you know how I get on! If you haven’t already, I think you should enter this shirt in the Spring Top Sewalong 2011, hosted by Made by Rae.

Well done on all levels: the restyling, the choice of print and the bargain buy. I really should try my hand at French seams. I’m sure it must be quicker than overlocking each side of the usual pressed open seam.
