I was browsing through my stash of pdf patterns and found the Atelier Scammit Declic hiding. This looked like a very simple pattern and I had the perfect fabric sitting in the remnants pile. Here is the line drawing:
This is a simple blouse with shoulder pleats. Here is the remnant:
I had previously made a bow tie blouse from this fabric and had about 1 1/4 yard leftover. It felt good to be able to use a remnat of fabric. The pattern is really long between the shoulder and the high bust so I removed 3 inches. Yeah, I know that is a lot but it was at 15-inches before the change and 12-inches is still longer than I need.
I did get stuck on cutting out the interfacing. I suppose I should just order some stablizing tape so I do not get to take the time to it out. The pattern required front/back neckline, shoulders, and armscyes to be stablized. In the end, this was not needed. I think I would rather just do a stay stitch.
I did not make an actual muslin of the this pattern. I used the tape measure to determine any length changes and just went with it. Here are the results:
I am hoping that this will become a new favorite top. I am pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. It will remain to be seen whether or not it will be too hot on hot summer days.
Happy Stitching!
