70's blouse done!





This blouse was easy construction until the collar.  I kept reading over the directions and after taking it out 4 times, realized I was reading the directions for view 3 not view 4!  Some days I am not very observant.  Remember the purge from my closet I did a couple weeks back?  Well, this blouse is an effort to add some much needed solid colored clothing to my closet. It's a mystery fabric, but it's heavy and feels good on.

Have a wonderful vintage day!

  2. Very nice and basic you can wear this with a lot of your things. Good job.
    My black trim came from Ebay Friday and I'm basting it on both pieces of the Chanel pink twin set.

  8. Gina,

    I like your new blouse. Blue is a color that goes with most other colors as well, so it's a good choice. Mystery fabric? :)

  13. Hey Miss P, yes this was another high bust measurement. It a 32. It's fits pretty nice. It's not fitted as much as my other dresses. So it's going to be a shirt I wear to work in. Thanks for all your comments!! you guys are wonderful!

  15. This is so much nicer than the picture on the pattern envelope. It's a lovely top - I'm sure it will be very versatile. With the shape and color, you could wear it with so much.

  18. Hi Gina,

    I have just found your blog for the first time and I love it, I must have spent most of the afternoon browsing through everything you have made and it all looks fabulous!
    I have just decided to return to dressmaking after not making clothes for many years and your blog has certainly given me the inspiration to pick up my dressmaking scissors again. I have a cross stitch blog and I am considering starting a sewing blog soon.

    Such beautiful creations, I think my favourite is the gingham dress with the red piping, very beautifully put together!

    If you would like to see my bridesmaid dresses I made in 1984 (Priness Diana influenced) just click on this link.

    Kind regards
