sew grateful blouse






blouse - self made
pants - thrifted

started working on this blouse a year ago
traced the pattern
cut the fabric
sewed the bow tie
(you maybe even saw the tie
in this post)
and then abandoned the whole thing
..
no special reason for that
happens all the time
my closet is full of ufo-s
(as in 'unfinished object'
not that i have a closet full of flying saucers)
..
but this february
debi made me remember the blouse
..
got this fabric from a friend
she was making a dress
i helped her cut the fabric for that dress
she let me take the leftovers home with me
..
so fabric was gifted to me
buttons were also a gift
it sounded like a good idea
to make this blouse my sew grateful project..
and on top of that
i got rid of one of the ufos
..

  1. i love the birds sitting at waistband and flying on bodice! how fortuitous that the leftover fabric met your bow and band birds.

    1. oh bow and band birds are the same leftovers.. it was strange fabric - made of large areas of navy with flying birds (maybe 1 m wide, or a bit more) and than the smaller ones in red, with birds on wire..

  2. It's an incredibly cute top & I looove the peplum. It's casual & non-costumey despite being in a contrasting fabric. I like lots of costumey things, but most days I want to wear less demanding pieces, so this blouse is inspirational to me. The cut is lovely and low-key, and just brilliant!

  3. Love, love, love this blouse! So beautiful. The fabric is amazing, so lucky to get that. And the pattern is such a nice unusual one. Maybe I should start working on a few of my UFO's.....

  7. Gorgeous fabric, it's pretty cool to get two prints on the one fabric! The colour combination is great - I love wearing bright colours and seeing them on other people always cheers me up too, especially on such a dark winter's night!
