04/2004 - #9 Blouse

Pattern Description

Button-up blouse with pintucks at front and back yoke. 3/4-length sleeves have a keyhole tie closure.

Which view and size did you make?

110 (Size 5)

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes

If not, why?

** Add at least 2 inches to the length.

Were the instructions easy to follow?

Yes

If not, why?

Easy to follow for a seasoned seamstress familiar with collars, sleeves, gathers, bias and plackets.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I really enjoyed the pintucks!

However, the length was insufficient. I even used a narrow hemmer so as to maximize the length I had and it still was not adequate. I would probably increase the sleeve length, too, rather than have it cut-off at 3/4.

Fabric used

Cotton Lawn
