\"BV<\/p>\n

It’s taken a long time, but I have finally finished my\u00a0BIG Vintage Sew-along<\/a>\u00a0vintage-inspired blouse!<\/p>\n

As you may remember, I picked\u00a0a vintage inspired shirt:\u00a0Butterick 6217<\/a>, but I hadn’t actually got as far as\u00a0sorting out the buttons.<\/p>\n

Well, after a lot of arguments with the sewing machine because it just didn’t want to sew the one-step buttonhole correctly, I finally have a wearable blouse!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dragon's<\/p>\n

I love the style of the sleeves – I might have to ‘borrow’ that pattern piece for other tops!\u00a0I bought 8 buttons instead of 7, as\u00a0I felt the buttons would look more balanced if there one was\u00a0in the centre of each stripe, rather than where the pattern says they’re supposed to be.<\/p>\n

The shop didn’t have 8 that matched exactly, so I chose 4 in a slightly lighter shade for the dark stripes, and 4 in a darker shade of red for the white stripes – looking at the photo, you wouldn’t know they weren’t identical buttons!<\/p>\n

I definitely need to practise buttonholes, or at least use some stabilising behind the fabric when I stitch them…. half way through most of the holes, the sewing machine suddenly stopped moving the fabric and decided to zigzag a lump of stitches which was a nightmare to unpick!<\/p>\n

Overall though, I love the style of the blouse, and I’m pretty happy with how the stripes line up on the front too. Maybe I need to use a slightly ‘nicer’ fabric next time though – polycotton or a pure cotton might be a little more co-operative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
