In among the Christmas sewing I snatched the chance to make this blouse for myself:
It is the "Weekend Getaway Blouse (and Dress)" by Liesl+Co.
The fabric I purchased at Spotlight - it is a very lightweight cotton voile and will need to be worn with some type of singlet. A lovely top to wear on hot summer days.
It was difficult to photograph - especially as the above image was by a photographer who is under five and standing on a picnic chair - so I have included a close up of the print.
I'm not quite sure if I got the sizing right, or even whether it is the right style for me. I think I'll try making it in a darker print and maybe go a size down next time. I will make it again - I'll just have to hunt for another great fabric.
It does look nice and comfortable for summer though Taryn, lovely colour too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely! The fabric is great. I've been trying to decide which of the two Liesl+Co patterns to buy. I've never sewn for myself and haven't any idea about fitting, but Liesl's patterns seem like a good place to start!
