Hot on the heels of my Dandelion dress, here’s a Dandelion blouse.
This fabric is a second-generation stashbuster: I think my mum must have bought it in Thailand in the 70s. I’ve been waiting to find the right pattern to use. I think a dress might be a bit much, don’t you?
I cut this out at social sewing at Made on Marion the other weekend, chatterboxing with Zara, Jo, Sophie and Maryanne. The good news is that I have a bit left. It might be enough for a simple sleeveless blouse (Sorbetto, maybe?). Maybe it will be a gift.
I drafted a higher neckline and a Peter Pan collar from Gertie’s tutorial.
Obviously I wasn’t paying attention because the collar is way too far apart at the back.
A design feature, that’s called.
