Description

I found this pattern second hand. It’s from a company called Fashion Blueprints boasting “creative patterns for unique garments based on classic ethnic styles”. I really love the styling, but the pattern needs some work. Maybe it’s my sewing that needs work. Either way, it doesn’t sit quite properly. I’d love to hear if anyone else has had any experience with this pattern company.

I added some piping for a little contrast and hand painted the blossoms.

    Could the fit issue might be something with the shape/size of the armscye…?

      Maybe? To be honest I don’t have the patience to play with it much more. So many orher lovely patterns to try.

    It looks really nice. What’s the problem with the fit, I can’t see it by looking the pics?

      The collar puckers out at the back when I have it on. Also, it’s a little tight directly under the arms although roomy on either side of the bust where you might find darts in some patterns. I don’t think I can go a size bigger or smaller either. What do you think?
