Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This top was way too balloony with the band at the bottom, so I ended up cutting off an inch or so (more in the front and the back) and sewing the band back on. It’s not great now, but it’s better.
Plus, I added cuffs to the sleeves that are meant to look like the cuffs on the JJ blouse. It’s much cuter than elastic!

I really love this top, it’s on my to do list. By the way, the instruction was made by Burda company. I couldn’t take the credit.

JJ has really thorough instructions for the sleeve cuffs — just find the pattern for her blouse in the pattern section! Mine aren’t as nice as hers; I followed her instructions in a general, haphazard way as is, unfortunately, my sewing style.
