Flower Blouse - Patrones finished!

I finished on saturday, but I washed and I was waiting for it to dry.

I loved making this blouse and it's result. I think the red flowers give a new look to the blouse.

There is only one thing that I don't like: I think it got a bit shorter than I'm used to. I like blouses around the hip.

Next time (yes, I'll repeart this model), I'll put more 5/10 cm in the height.

Here you can see some details of the hem and sleeves. The hem line could have gotten a little bigger, because Ileft it so small it was very hard to sew it in the hem.

The sleeves, there are something I'm proud of.

New Project - Blouse with flowers

I have started a new project. Also very simple and a model that I already did. The shirt Burda Style is still in "stand-by" until I feel confortable in this sewing things. Meanwhile I'll do simpler models.

This time I'll repeat the model in the Patrones magazine. The one that I already did in white eyelet. This one:

I will do it in the white fabric that my mom gave me.

As the fabric is all white I decided to embellish it. So, I'll put red flowers and stitch them in the fabric. The fabric of the flowers is the one left from the knot top from Burda Fashion which I did for my sister a few months ago.

I foun in the blog Painel Criativo the design of the flowers. I printed them in A4, sheet and enlarged and reduced the size of them, so that I got several sizes of flowers.

Then I passed them onto some cardboard paper.


And then after to the fabric

Then I place the flowers in the front part of the blouse already cut with pins. And with glue tape and iron the flowers into the fabric.

First I tried to sew them in the machine, but it was not working well. So I did a blanket stitch in each one of the flowers.

In the middle of the some flowers I sew a white button.

This was the result. Now all I have to do is sew the blouse.

I will only repeat the red fabric in the bottom of the blouse.
