Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Sassy Librarian Blouse »

Instructions

What a fun project! Listen to the tips Christine provides and yours will turn out fabulous. :)

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Cute, Casual, Retro / Vintage


Materials

Cotton quilting fabric

What was your inspiration?

I did like the colors of the collared version shown in the intro - plus I've been an aqua/red kick lately! I chose the project because I wanted to learn how to do the tucks.

What are you most proud of?

I am petite and had to make some fitting adjustments that turned out well.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make a muslin if you're in between sizes or need to alter the pattern in any way...it's not a difficult project, but who wants to go through all of that effort if the blouse doesn't fit? And take Christine's advice to press, press, press. It goes a long way! And don't rush...enjoy the process. :)
