I am starting my spring/summer sewing with the Love Notions Rhapsody Blouse. Here is the line drawings:
This pattern has lots of options. There are two length options and nine sleeve options. The muslin will be the cap sleeve with the neckline ties. The fabric that I am going to use for the muslin is this fabric that I purchased earlier in March. When that fabric was washed, it turned into a nice piece of fabric.
Here is a little look at my modified pattern:
Lots of length changes. I have been following Karina at Lifting Pins and Needles and following her tips on making wovens tops. So far, it has been worth the effort. (Yes, I noticed that a kitty had been chewing on one of the pattern pieces.)
Here is the muslin:
Well after all the work, I realized that I had selected the wrong size for the top portion of the bodice. I will not say that the top is tight but it is definitely too narrow. Funny thing is that with every pattern from Love Notions I have made the same mistake but went up a size because I did not believe I could wear that size. Now, I know for sure that my initial instinct was correct. The top is always very long and needs 2 to 3 inches removed.
With luck, I will be able to reuse this fabric for another muslin.
Happy Stitching!
