Description

I frequently shop in the liberty sale and have made quite a few things for my daughters from my finds, but this is the first time I’ve made myself a blouse. I managed to loose the magazine once I’d traced the pattern, but being Patrones the instructions don’t mean too much to me anyway. The blouse was a labour of love. As well as the pencil pleats that you can easily see on the fronts there are 17 pleats down each sleeve! I love the finished thing and it fits pretty well. I’m looking forward to making a pair of brown velvet trousers to wear with it in the autumn.

    Very bright color. It nice that you are getting around to doing something special for yourself.

    A very nice and well made shirt. It must have been so much work.
