I sewed the outer edge of the collar (used 3/8" seam allowances) and lapel together. Then I sewed the under collar to the shirt and hand stitched the inside seam to the inside of the seam. It lays beautifully. The waist needs a little tweaking and I need some sleeves, petal sleeves I think.More sewing on this and those pants this weekend.
I love Friday nights, the weekend possibilities are endless. I know that between now and Sunday night a thousand distractions and emergencies will arise and I probably won't get that much done. But, from where I sit on Friday night I can have a while new wardrobe by Monday morning, and spend hours working out at the gym.
This weekend in particular will crawl by. My new Marfy 2014-2015 catalog is on its way. In fact, its in Louisville clearing customs. Don't ya just love UPS online tracking! I should have exciting pics posted by Monday night.
Ah yes. All my plans for late night sewing on Friday vaporize as soon as the dinner dishes are done. Then the sofa starts calling. ...
ReplyDeleteSaturday and I have spent the day sewing with friends, so will keep my fingers crossed you get some wonderful sewing time. Your blouse is looking very impressive.
ReplyDeleteThe blouse is looking fabulous.... I got my catalogue late last night... found on doorstep looking lonely at 11pm. Think you will find a few things you like. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, I'm not the only one thinking I can sew up a wardrobe in a weekend ;) . Could be sewing now instead of reading blogs for example... but too much inspiration to miss. Love this collar too and a new Marfy catalogue, wonderful. Look forward to see a bit from it.
ReplyDeleteYou need to make a million copies of that top as it looks incredible on you!!!
ReplyDeleteThat collar is awesome! That blouse will be a "go to" in your wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteLove this blouse Becki! What a perfect fit. Petal sleeves....I will have to look that up. I'm now curious and can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteI love that collar! it's gong to be so lovely when it's finished :)
ReplyDelete*going*
ReplyDeleteLove the way the collar lays. it's beautiful. I'm always afraid of the crossover blouses. Being busty, they never lay right. Yours is perfect. (Got my Marfy catalog yesterday. Already dreaming of summer sewing.)
ReplyDeleteI love Fridays, too! All the potential ahead! Whether we realize it or not, for that one day and night, imagination awaits
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this finished (Fashionistas?) and your upcoming potential Marfy's!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I love Marfy!
