The sewing bug has bit me again! Now that I have time to sit down and think, I also have time to sew. I just finished a flannel robe in the past couple of weeks, as well as hemmed a couple of pairs of jeans for Josh. Now the plan is for a new blouse out of some gauzy material with gold printing on it. Yeah, sounds bizarre, or gaudy, but it really is rather pretty.
I have any number of patterns, but none seemed especially suited for my very first foray into sewing with gauze. Looking around on the internet, I came across some patterns by StyleArc, an indie pattern company out of Australia. They get good reviews, so I decided this blouse would be perfect. A bit of a challenge, but simple enough . . . .
When you buy online patterns, often they are downloadable as a PDF file that you print out at 100% (to make sure you get the right size). From there you tape everything together to create your pattern pieces, and then cut. And then tape some more, front and back. After that, you get to sewing!
