Plaid Bow

For this blouse I used the basic JJ pattern that I have adjusted to my measurements and use since as a blouse block. I spent some time on matching the plaid - it is my first time working with plaid. I must say I thought it will be more difficult, nothing to be afraid there...




I cut the blouse long and than noticed that I don't have enough fabric for the sleeves. What I did it is cut it shorter and I intend to use the rests for the sleeves... Hope it will work out.




What is left to do is hem it and make the sleeves.




Saturday I did a 3rd swing dress and will post it soon!

Geri .- I like the treatment you made with plaid tissue . I must say that I am not very close friend of tissues with plaid, but I love to observe this work. Hugs, Paco

love that tied neck... and am terrified of matching plaids. i don't believe you, you truly are an evil genius.

Hehe, Oona... Evil maybe ;), but...
What I did was basically cut the pieces very carefully so they match and then stitch them carefully by hand together so they match. First the I used the machine.
