Red Market Blouse

Here's my second attempt at the Lisette Market Blouse.
The fabric is Lisette fabric that I bought from Jo-Anns while in the US last month.
Alterations & Fitting: I measured up as size 12 but after reading the forum and looking at finished measurements I went for the size 10 and it fits really well. I used a 3/8" seam under the sleeves and added about 1.5" to the length of this second blouse.
That's all for now :)

Photo Update

I made this Oliver + S Family Reunion dress about a month ago. It's still waiting for a home.

Nice hem detail
Harry's second shirt. I made this for a family photo shoot we had recently. It worked out pretty well. And now that I've discovered there is a small but fairly important error in the Sketchbook pattern the next one will be even better.


I intended to wear this Lisette blouse to our photo shoot but didn't in the end. I don't think my husband is really into anything vaguely "vintage". I am in the middle of making a second blouse, hopefully he will like it more??
It was again pleasing to make and such a neat finish. The pattern had a similar technique to the Family Reunion dress for finishing the neckline which makes the inside look lovely.




Another work in progress.

My deadline is approaching for these cushion covers so hopefully Spotlight gets more cushion inserts in stock soon or I'll have to be creative about filling them :)

Another Skirt

I made this skirt a while ago. I like it lots. Will definitely be making more of these.



I have so many things I want to make at the moment! A lot that need to be done before the end of August so hopefully there will be some more frequent posting here :)
