This picture is what I’m trying to sew and this is what my blouse looks like right now
It’s the same pattern and fabric (what are the odds?). It’s also my first blouse so it’s a bit of a learning curve and it doesn’t help that the tension on my almost brand new Janome has decided to go crazy. What’s particularly frustrating is when I get to something that I don’t understand that’s in big bold letters.
It makes me feel extra special stupid… Regardless I want to get this finished and done this weekend! I’m determined not to move on to another project until it’s completed and I’d really like to move on…








The fabric and pattern are gorgeous. Good luck! I’m not sure I would attempt anything like this…A little too ambitious for me
That’s a great looking blouse! I’m a bit older (well, probably a lot) than you … I remember my first blouse in home ec. 7th grade … can see it, was a simple pattern, probably Simplicity, a yellow cotton with white flecks in it, had an opening in the back with a button.
I’m sure that you’ll do a great job making your first ever blouse! how exciting!
Thanks for the memory!
