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

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

Sandi S said... 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 3/3/13 1:29 AM
