I wanted a quick and easy project. This blouse is rated 1.5 dots, which on burda's rating scale, is fairly easy. What was I thinking? Actually, after I finally figured out what in the world they were doing with this tie (it only took me about 2 hours - I'm not kidding - to figure it out) then it was fairly easy. Oh, that and the fact that I made the opening on the RIGHT instead of the LEFT, so I had to keep switching that in my head when reading the directions. It took longer than I had thought, but I really like the results. If you want to make this top, you may want to check the armholes. They are a little small. Not enough that I'm going to rip them out and do it again, just a little tight.
Very pretty blouse, aren't BWOF instructions so frustrating at times? In the end, it is worth it for the great styles.
ReplyDeleteNice top! Looks good with the pants. And don't you love easy tops that have no fit issues!!!
ReplyDeleteoohh, it looks great in the chiffon and on you
ReplyDeleteThe blouse looks great! BWOF can really frustrate a sewer! Your results are worth the trouble.
ReplyDeleteNancy I really love your top, I've cut a muslin of this and found the instructions made no sense at all to me either so I haven't got very far with it. I admire your patience in spending 2 hours deciphering the instructions - I'm not sure I can manage that without going crazy!! - do you have any tips you can share to get us started?
ReplyDeleteWow that was fast! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I have this one already traced and I know I have enough fabric for it, maybe next week on winter vacation! I guess I'll have to go read the instructions a bit closer . . .
ReplyDeleteThis looks great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful top! I love the print and the flirty fabric.
ReplyDeleteIt may have been hard to make Nancy, but it looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteToo bad it took you 2 hours to figure it out, but it was worth every minute- it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis top looks so pretty on you!
