Last minute sewing

March is almost finished and here in New England we are still wearing jackets! Oh well, I love MA anyway :) Atleast we get to see all 4 distinct seasons. I am so close to falling off the wagon this month but I am determined to finish my March project, which is not too exciting, but it's a blouse I'll get a lot of use out of and it fits my goal of sewing more wovens and blouses this year.

It's another version of the Burda Magazine Blouse I made last month.

This one's as close to a white blouse (sorry I dont do white) as it gets. Its a lovely natural linen from Fabric.com

I experimented with wing needle top stitching and I love it! Birgitte, I took some closeups to show you what it looks like.





The only parts left for this blouse are sewing the sleeves and the collar which I intend to finish tonight. Oh yes, the buttons and buttonholes too. I can do it!!!



Sorry for such a bad photo. I snapped it with my Blackberry before leaving the house today.

I can do it, I can do it. I figured if I post it here, I am more likely to finish it :) More on my travel plans later...

Last night's chat was AWESOME and the linen is close enough to white for me to cheer!!

Looks good so far! I am still admiring that faux fur coat.......do you know what pattern KK used for it? It looks double breasted with a lower neck line. It really is lovely. Oh and so does the soon-to-be-finished blouse!
