Threads issue #150 Fresh, fun blouse ideas was my inspiration for this garment.  I made this blouse from one of the newer Simplicity patterns, 2339.  I love that the cup sizes are included which means you don't have to do a FBA.  I chose to make it sleeveless and used striped shirting from Linda Lee.  Mixing fabrics was fun.  I embroidered the inside yoke with a feathery background design and my first initial.  Since it was such a pretty stripe, I chose to piece the collar to create a chevron.  I use bias stripes from the same fabric as the front bands to finish the armholes.


Pattern or design used: Simplicity 2339
