Nice -- I love the style of this blouse. Thanks for the helpful information about the minimal instructions and about how you adjusted your blouse.

Great blouse. I really like that tutorial. Where do you get the starch? All I ever see is the spray kind.

Lovely blouse, the mix of fabric is genius! I made 122 (review coming soon) and found the instructions OK, but am partway through another blouse with the same concealed front as yours and it's giving me fits so I understand your frustration! Well done for persevering, it was worth it.

Wow, I admire your perseverance! You've ended up with a lovely blouse. I don't think I'll be trying this pattern myself!

Breathtaking!! You have an amazing ability to compose your fabrics, select a design and then construct a garment with incredible skill. I am truly blown away!!!!

Your blouse is beautiful and the sleeves are a huge improvement. Thank you for the tutorial (bookmarked!). I'm scared of sheers, but maybe someday I'll get confident enough to work with them. Great review, I think I'll try 122.

Great looking blouse. This was one I had my eye on and it's good to know the instructions aren't useful. Your blouse is gorgeous and fun and the fabric is so pretty.
