The green theme continues!

I think it took me a while to realise that green is my favourite colour….

 

But there’s no denying I love wearing it!

 


I recently finished a blouse, made from a lovely rayon floral,


purchased at Darn Cheap Fabric sometime last year.



I remember we had not been out of lockdown very long,

 

And I had a lovely chat with another shopper about just browsing and touching fabric….


And dreaming of what we might make….

 


And having a reason to go out and wear our newly made garment!

 

And the pattern (New Look 6704) I chose was 


purchased during a Spotlight sale…



Where again I chatted with a lady about our possible purchases.



 
This was a fairly easy pattern to make…

 

And I was very chuffed when the button loops pulled 


through perfectly!

 


You can’t see it, but I finished the inside sleeve and side 


seams with a French seams

 

So it’s almost as nice on the inside as on the out!




Now I guess I better find a place to wear my new 

blouse.


Happy sewing!

That is a gorgeous green. Perfect pattern, too. Love the front tab and the collar. That works really well. Forget going somewhere special. Just wear it!

Yes, the green suits you. I know what you mean about the button loops turning out just right and the french seams will make it all very strong. You'll have to make another now. BTW - love the hair cut :)

I am wanting to touch this fabric--it must be soft because it's rayon, and drapeaule, too. So pretty, and it looks great on you! Congratulations on getting those details right--especially those loops for the buttons. It's a happy day when all the bits work out like you planned.

I went and read In The Fold, and chose one of their jackets. I'm going at turtle's pace around here for sewing, but I love reading about your successes!
