I've wanted to sew this blouse pattern for a long time. It has been almost 2 years since I first saw it as a test pattern. I didn't test it as I was in the midst of another test pattern.
When I was making the Spousal Unit a shirt in June, I fussy cut out the pattern. It sat around waiting to be made. I finally had time at the end of August.
I am so happy I took the time to fussy cut this blouse as I could line up not only the side seams but the darts and tucks. I had a great time making sure it was done perfectly.
The pattern went together really well and fit the doll well.
I didn't rush the process as I wanted to make sure the lines matched perfectly.
I am pleased with the results and will make this blouse again. I do love patterns that are well drafted. Fussy cutting makes them look high end.
Something I learned when sewing on the snaps. I used 2 snaps by Dritz and 1 by Prym. While sewing on the Dritz snaps, the waxed thread broke very easily due to sharp edges in the holes. That didn't happen with the Prym snaps. I'll be using Prym snaps only once the Dritz snaps are used up.
