The Paris Blouse

VKStitcher | Posted in Photo Gallery on

Finally, here is a photo of one of my recent projects, the Paris Blouse from Stretch and Sew.  Instead of long sleeves with cuffs, I made them 3/4 length with a turn back cuff.  The fabric is Pimatex (cotton with a hint of lycra) that I ordered from Nancy’s Notions.  The sleeve cap went in smoothly, but looks wrinkly here because of my hasty ironing job (in a rush to get to work!)

    Thanks for sharing the pattern and fabric information and sources.  It's a very good fit and the collar, cuffs, and buttonholes look exceptionally well done too.  Mary

      Thank you, Mary.  I used the blind-hem foot for my machine to get straight topstitching at the edge of the collar and cuffs.  My machine (Janome MC 4800) does wonderful one-step buttonholes--just place the button in the back of the buttonhole foot, and the machine does perfectly sized buttonholes every time.  I love it!  :-)

        Fine work on the blouse.  Looks like a pattern that will become a staple in your wardrobe it is so flattering on you.  Nice finishing work.  I love the shade of blue.  Cathy

          Thanks for your compliments!  It's a very comfortable blouse, and I've made the shorter sleeveless version as well.

    Lookin' good!  Love the colour!  You did a beautiful job - everything is neat & even, it looks comfortable, fits perfectly - you get an A+ from all of your friendly critics  & supporters here :)!  Definitely not looking 'homemade'.  I like the sleeves & cuffs, too.  Thanks so much for sharing.

        You're welcome.  We do try to judge fairly :)
