Heyhey,

here are the first steps of sewing on my fun blouse. You can read about the pattern and cutting here.

 

 

first I pinned my centre back seam and the back darts

and the shoulder seams of the facing

and the strip for the button-loops

same as the front darts

and the sleeve seams

then sewed and serged, sleeve seams, shoulder seams in facing and centre back seam

and sewed the darts and the loops-strip

next I pinned the back waist part to the back top part

sewed, serged and ironed into the waist-part

then I sewed with wide stitching the top of one down part within the seam allowance

I left long threads

then pinned the ends to the waist part

and ruffled it down to the needed size

sewed and serged and ironed into the waist part

my back part so far, already looks like fun 😉

then I cut the seam allowance at my loop-strip to a few mm

and used the threads of the seam

to knot a thick needle in place

then pushed the needle through the tunnel

and failed miserably… it was just to small

so I started a second attempt

and this time

it worked

then I measured around the buttons I wanted tu use

and marked that

and added twice my seam allowance

then cut all into stripes that long

decided 4 buttons would look good

then placed my loops, first right where I had my marking on top, the lowest 0.5cm over the seam allowance, and the other in between, spaced evenly

then sewed over it, less wide then the seam allowance

it will look like this when finished.

Do you have any questions about this? Do not hesitate to ask!

like my cute little flowers in the print? you can order your own here, I had it printed on silky faille for this project.

keep sewing and smiling
