Blouse: me
Pants: me blogged here
Shoes: Target
I saw a bow front blouse in a store and I loved it. The reason I didn't buy it was because I have a soap box... well a few of them. Anyway I'm picky about where I get my clothing because I care about who made them under what conditions. So usually now I make my own clothing under my own conditions, plus that's more fun for me anyway. The problem is I couldn't find a pattern or tutorial to make a bow front blouse like the one I saw. There are a few patterns coming out that have the same idea as what I did but they weren't out when I started or aren't exactly what I wanted. So I set out to figure it out.
I'll be working on a tutorial to post next week on how to recreate the bow front. In the mean time enjoy the pics.
I chose to use a covered button for the closure. I'm not sure why my closure is sagging... Any helpful advice?

Beautiful! You are an awesome seamstress...
ReplyDeleteI love your top! it's gorgeous. I would love to follow a tutorial how to make this top
ReplyDeleteI love this top! The color is just perfect on you! And the last picture with your kids is really cute! I can guarantee that if I took pictures with my kids we would not match and look this put together (and happy!) without a whole lot of planning and bribery :)
