Welcome Annette! (if this is your 1st review.) This looks very promising. I like the styling a lot. How is the fit of it in the corduroy? Is it tight, considering the firmness of your fabric? I'm just curious on how the Silhouette blouse pattern corresonds to the corduroy for my future reference. Let us know if you give this another try with french seams. By the way, your topstitching looks great!

I love this blouse. I ordered this pattern a couple of months ago but have not made it yet. I really like yours.

Quite sharp! It looks like this blouse could make up well as a casual jacket, too.

Your work looks beautiful.

Beautifully sewn!

Very nice - I had been wondering about this pattern so may add it to my stash - guess my New Year's resolution to stop increasing pattern and fabric stash has bit the dust!!

Nice clean lines. You did a nice job on this one.

Very pretty--I love the color green--it's so "Springish" and happy looking.

This is gorgeous - such a fresh and vibrant colour! It looks like a very comfortable blouse to wear, yet smart too.

Congrats on your top. Perhaps you can adapt the collar from this one to use on the Kwik-Sew pattern, & get the best of both?

I've been meaning to sew up a couple of my Silhouette patterns but I don't have this one. Just a comment to add about the 3/8" SA. I attended two seminars by Peggy Sagers and in both of them she emphasized that the 3/8" allowance helped in several areas: using the feed dogs ease in sleeves on flat construction, turning collar points (no need to trim the angles-I was a skeptic, but it works), facing points, and edgestitching collars directly to necklines. I suppose for other seams a French seam might be better, but I'd keep the 3/8" for those areas. I even trim my collars after cutting out the patterns now to allow a 3/8" SA.

I noticed when I used her method of turning the collar point, it worked really slick! I guess she knows what she's doing. :o)

I just bought this pattern up at Expo after seeing it in the shows. You really did a good job. Sager's patterns have become popular with my sewing guild. I have sewn one, and bought four more. I got a pretty good fit but had to cut down length of body and arms. I believe she said they were for a person 5"7" and I am 5'4." Thanks for the good review. Hope my project comes out as good as yours.

Very nice, good job on the construction and good review.

What a fabulous jacket! I love the color.

I KNOW ... it's that COLOR I love. :o)) Today I was in Walgreen's, and there was some ribbon in there exactly that same color. I carried it around for a while, until I finally decided I wasn't actually going to DO anything with it, that I just liked the color, so I put it back. :o) I remember when I was in junior high (MANY YEARSS AGO), my mom made me two swimming suits, one this color and one a hot pink. I still love those colors to this day. Thanks!

Great review, Annette. Such a pretty color! I recently purchased several Silhouette patterns, including this one. I plan to make this in a short-sleeve version, from linen. Your comments concerning the cut of the pattern will be a great help when it comes to making mine. I'll be making a muslin first time around. French seams are a nice idea; I just might try them on this! Thanks for a thorough review.
