Inspiration...Long-Sleeved Blouse

 I found this cute little blouse:

This is the Farrah Paisley Long-Sleeve Blouse from Veronica Beard.  Price tag: $448.00.  Details:  Silk blend, v-neck, long sleeves with elastic band, classic fit, hip falls to hip, pullover style, dry clean.  

Here is a closeup of the blouse:

I will admit that the color drew me in but I also really like the paisley print.  I am sure that a fabric can be found that will be representative of the paisley fabric and not be dry clean only.  Here is the line drawing of the pattern I chose:

This is the Itch to Stitch Seychelles pdf pattern.  I think it has a similar vibe to the inspiration photo.  The sleeves are gathered with a button rather than using elastic.  I suppose it you wanted you could use elastic.  

I am an Itch to Stitch affilate.  Purchasing through my links will result in a small commission to me without any cost to you.

Mood has a nice selection of various paisley fabrics in various types of fabric. 

Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
