I'll write a review later, but I don't have time for that now. I've taken no detail pictures yet either. It was an easy blouse to make. I used french seams, and this gives a nice finish to the inside too.
The fabric is linen in a quality that makes it easy to work with, collar and cuff interfacing is from Pam, wonderful quality as always.
The main thing I altered were the buttons on the cuff. In the pattern the buttonholes are inside the cuff, but I made them in the double layer of the cuffs, so the buttons are visible on the outside of the cuff. It was clear that the cuffs would ‘fall down’ when done as described.
You can see that from the BurdaStyle picture too, a detail of that picture is below. I changed the picture as it is a white blouse on a white background, in which the details are hardly visible. This is a link to the picture on the Burda website.
The length is in between the length of blouse no. 114 and 113, which are basically the same patterns.
It’s good to make a few of these quick projects. I’m mentally preparing for pants again.
That is a very pretty blouse. The fancy cuffs look nice and I like the way you did the buttonholes on the cuffs.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful blouse! I just finished making that blouse Saturday and wore it to work yesterday! I did alter the cuffs though to just a regular cuff as I thought it might be annoying to me while I work.
