Description

I looked at the susan blouse and saw potential! The sleeves didn’t do it for me, so I didn’t do those, and I also omitted the tie at the bottom. I chose the material because the colors (navy/white) went perfectly with the sailor vibe I got from the original design. I love it so much, it turned out even better than I thought it would!

Material Notes

slinky-ish houndstooth fabric

    Is great that so many creative people on here have a differing vision for how to sew up a pattern and then share with us so we can see the other potentials of what we can make from the pattern. Because not everyone can imagine, me not so much yet so is helpful for me to get ideas from other people for now. Like this here great nautical idea and going sleeveless, like I would never even realize this was from the same pattern for the fancey looking eyelet purple blouse they showed if I had not been told.
