A New Pattern On Its Way!

I have been wanting to make a vintage blouse for some time. Will be great for work, and for play. I'm thinking with either a full gathered drindl or a pencil skirt. So... I went hunting on etsy, and look at the gorgeous beauty I found:


I only bought it today, so will probably take some time before it arrives from the States. But I am so excited!! It was decently priced too. I bought it for ten US bucks, and then found it again on etsy selling for 23 US bucks! So glad I found the cheaper one. And its in my size!

Now I just have to get some fabric inspiration for it........

    Hi Rachel (I'm also a Rachael... Lily is my pseudonym!). Just saw your French dress on Sew Retro. It's awesome! I'm loving everything you've made so far, I can't believe you've only been sewing for such a short time.

    Gorgeous blouse. I think I might also make something similar (my wardrobe is seriously lacking in tops). Although I have no neck, so will have to make it lower cut!

    Hi Rachael/Lily! thank you so much. I have been practicing alot though! I am seriously lacking in tops too. And I'm starting a new job soon where I will have to dress much more 'corporate' so I think I'll be making lots more soon!

    Lisa - you will definitely be seeing me soon! I am having major Tessuti withdrawals actually -- I reckon you'll see me next week :-)

    Wow! Thanks Colette! That is so exciting. I'm really looking forward to the frill tutorial. I have plans for a dress and a shirt -- I do love how you lovely Tessuti ladies share your sewing knowledge like this.

    I am going to come into Tessuti next week. Need some new spiffy work clothes, so going to make a trip for some lush fabric.
