dreamdesigner said... Beautifully done!
Did you change the sleeve bottom?
Looks like it kind of flares out. 8/9/06 1:04 PM
Jane S said... You look wonderful in this beautiful blouse. It was worth 2 muslins to get something so flattering and so elegant. Thanks for motivating me to get this pattern out of my stash. Of course, since you make the same alterations I do, perhaps I could just borrow it:-) 8/9/06 5:41 PM
marthamyers said... dreamdesigner, I didn't exactly intend to change the sleeves but I lost the pattern piece for the sleeve facing! I don't think I changed the shape, as I just traced the lower sleeve pattern to create a facing, aming it about 6" deep. I did omit the vent in the sleeve and just roll it up a bit. 8/10/06 6:53 PM
