For this blouse I used the basic JJ pattern that I have adjusted to my measurements and use since as a blouse block. I spent some time on matching the plaid – it is my first time working with plaid. I must say I thought it will be more difficult, nothing to be afraid there…

That’s a really lovely blouse… and the colours and plaid are wonderful (and perfectly matched!) – a great blouse for early autumn days.

I love the pairing of your top with the low-rise jeans. Most people wouldn’t spend the time matching the plaid, but it really paid off. Nice work!

Beautiful fabric and alterations. You’ve already found out some cool fabric shops in Berlin, so it seems!

You matched it really well. Another successfully “remixed” JJ! It looks like mix between Ute and JJ, actually!
