Summer Blouse

Good morning! I have another summer project to share. The pattern is Simplicity 3789. Before starting I did not take into account that, while most patterns run quite large, Simplicity does not. So-o, I cut out a 14, like usual, put it together and it was too big. I took it apart, cut it down to a 12 and put it together again. Still too big. Took it apart and left it for a while. I came back to it later, cut it down to a 10 and just made it. Yep, that's right, didn't try it on or anything, just did it. But I think it worked! Here is the result:


Shirt Front
The fabric is from Hancock's.
Shirt Back

Collar and Shoulder
After some self debate I decided to do flat felled seams and I really liked the way it turned out.

Side Front
I only did two things differently from what the pattern said. I shortened the length two inches and I didn't use any interfacing.
I'm working on a tutorial for the panel skirts. It will probably take me another couple of days to get it together though. See you around!
