Elona said... Beautiful color and buttons, and the blouse looks really nice as it is. I'm glad to see this pattern getting some recent action, for it seems to have been quite serviceable in the past. 2/27/09 8:23 PM
Renren said... Ah, this color is one of the loveliest there could be. I look forward to seeing the finished blouse. 2/27/09 10:39 PM
Karla Kizer said... No need to cut a larger size to get wider seam allowances: just cut 1/4" away from the pattern edge and you'll be back to the customary 5/8" SA. That neckline does look wonderful, and I appreciate your mentioning adding length. Another pattern I should do something with... 2/28/09 8:24 AM

Annette1 said... Oh my, what BEAUTIFUL fabric. It's like looking into a pool of water. Your blouse has such an elegant drape and looks so nice on you. I agree with you on the 3/8" seam thing. I prefer French seams too in instances like these. This is just lovely. 3/2/09 2:00 PM
