Pattern Description: blouse with tucks for shaping

Pattern Sizing:6-22

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? the shaping tucks make a nicely fitted, but easy to sew blouse

Fabric Used: poly crepe

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: cut the front a bit larger as an FBA, use fold-over elastic in place of bias binding for the neckline (lays better) and used French seams inside the blouse since my fabric was fairly delicate

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes & yes

Conclusion: cute top and easy to do

Buy this pattern for $13.46  List Price: $17.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag

Your FOE must be a perfect match--I can't even see it! Very nice top for spring/summer. Love the shaping of it.

Sorry to sidetrack the comments, but the sampler on your wall (to the left) in the background is gorgeous!

Thank you! I used to do counted cross stitch and have a number of really neat ones I finished in the mid-nineties. Ren- the FOE is easier to pull to the inside (at least in my opinion) than bias tape

Explain the FOE. Is it folded onto the right side? I can't see it.

The FOE is used the same way you would use bias tape.

You look very nice in this top. The way of fitting with the many darts is well chosen
