Another blouse in the making

The batik I had hoped to use for a second BWOF blouse just didn't have the soft hand I had hoped after washing. So, I had to make another choice, and I chose this:



It's a nice soft cotton, and in this close up, I hope you can see the raised threads that look a bit like bobbin work.



I'm going to change the sleeves to 3/4 length for this one and shorten it a bit overall.

I managed to get it cut out today and hope to work on it some tomorrow if the sewing gods are with me.

    Hi Linda! I'm glad you got the jacket pattern. What I like best about it is that it has a bit of a curve at the side waist so it is streamlined and gives you a nice shape. I had to add an FBA and narrow the shoulders before I got the fit I wanted. I'll be interested to see what you come up with.
    Your BWOF shirt is beautiful and the plaid is too. I subscribed to BWOF for a year and didn't make a thing so I decided I won't let myself subscribe to it again until I've used it at least three times.

    I hope you love that white blouse because it looks great on you. Your plaid embellished fabric is pretty. It will make a gorgeous blouse.
