Sewing Projects for this weekend

I am going to make New Look 6952 Blouse. You can it here. Blogger is not letting me post a photo of it at this time. I am using a light blue fabric with some raised designs that I got from Timmel Fabrics earlier this year. I believe it is a tencel type fabric. I washed it and it shrank just a small amount and does not wrinkle excessively.

I have had this pattern forever. It has become more popular in recent months and years. I made numerous fitting adjustments to it last weekend. I retried the pattern on me last night and I am truly pleased with the fit results so I am ready to cut and sew. I can't remember the last time I made a blouse with buttons, much less with a placket. So will be honing up those rusty sewing skills that I have not used in some time. I would love to post a photo of the material but have not taken one of it for some odd reason. Besides I simply cannot post photos right now with Blogger. Keeps telling me page error. It could be me not Blogger, but others complained recently about this issue. Will see.

I am making a LH wrap skirt to go with the blouse with fabric from EOS. Will post more about this later. First a shower, I just got back from CURVES.

  2. Linda,
    When I was a girl we bought a lot of our clothes at the Salvation Army. My sisters and I would tell our friends that we bought our clothes at "Sally's" as if it was a special boutique store or something. I think we were too embarrassed to say we shopped at thrift stores. Lol, I like shopping at thrift stores now.

    I know this has nothing to do with your sewing post, but I thought I'd answer your comment on SewChic.
