Sewing in Progress
The clock is running down...one day left before it's BACK TO WORK! So I got serious about doing some sewing.
First I made a muslin for a Sencha blouse (from Colette Patterns). And good thing I did because it was a simply horrible silhouette on me. This is not a pattern drafted for A-cuppers with pot bellies. Too bad, it's a lovely design.
So I then I turned to another indie pattern: Anouk by Victory Patterns. I'd like a new blouse, please!

With time running out, I didn't have time to muslin and to do it before Monday, so I took a risk and cut directly into my fashion fabric. Crossing my fingers!
I haven't heard of this pattern, but since your figure description describes me to a T maybe I should look into it! I'm looking forward to seeing the new creation, all your makes are thoughtful and pretty and so very you :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks! The new shirt's done...just awaiting photos. :)
DeleteAh interesting! Since I am the opposite (I.e. Overly well endowed and let me tell you that's not all it's cracked up to be!) maybe I should be trying the Sencha blouse!! Looking forward to your next make.
ReplyDeleteI love the design, so if you have the figure for it, you should definitely go for it! :)
DeleteHappy sewing! Hope it goes well!
ReplyDeleteToo bad the Sencha didn't work. I'm currently thinking if it's a blouse pattern for me since Colette dragts for a larger cup.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your Anouk!
You should try it!
DeleteOh, an Anouk! I haven't seen many around yet, but it looks so pretty on the envelope! Hope it's working out well!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen too many either, but I like the details. :)
DeleteI love this pattern! Anouk!!!!!!!!!! Can´t wait to see your version!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Donna!
Thanks, Happy New Year to you do too! I finished the shirt; now I just need to take pictures. :)
DeleteSorry to hear the first one didn't suit you. Curious to see the second--looks like a lovely design. (And thanks for introducing me to Victory Patterns!)
ReplyDeleteThe first one has been finished for a while, but the weather has been so crappy that I haven't taken pictures yet. I've worn it nearly every week though, so I guess you could say I'm happy! They have some pretty cool patterns, don't they? ;)
DeleteI mean the Victory patterns shirt has been done...which in my mind is the first of many of that pattern!
