I decided to do this very popular Builty by Wendy shirt is a sheer. I too had avoided sheers for quite sometime and decided to take on the challenge. This is a very simple pattern and if it had been sewn in a fabric with more body, it could have been completed in probably an afternoon. Since I sewed this in the sheer, I decided to take my time.
I gave most of the construction details in my previous post, but there was one other thing that I didn't include. The additional things I did was a bias-bound armscye. Since I used french seams, I decided that this was the best method for finishing the set-in sleeve seam allowance without resorting to serging, which would have looked unattractive from the right side of this sheer blouse. I did this by sewing the sleeve to the garment and wrapping a bias strip around the seam allowance. The front facing is done by turning back the the CF edge three times for a "self-interfacing" effect. Since my fabric was so sheer, I really feel that I could have used some interfacing right there.
I like the fact that this top is very cute and trendy and I love the mandarin collar. I decided to layer mine over a black cami. It can be worn untucked with the sash or tucked without it.

I had one of the preschool teachers photograph me at pickup today! The comments from the other parents were making me laugh.

Pattern: Simplicity 2596 view D/E
Size: 10 (I wear a 4/6 normally)
Fabric: Dotted Swiss from Joann
Trim: Crocheted from stash
Buttons: Vintage
I combined the hood, sleeves, and finishing details of the Oliver + S School Days pattern with the body of Simplicity 2534 to make this hybrid jacket
I should have lined the skirt, and it's pretty wrinkled...but all in all I loved this pattern. The pockets are awesome. They were a bit confusing for me to attach to the bodice, but after studying the drawing for a minute I figured it out.
Sorry about the bad quality photo. It was 1 am and you know how that goes.
