Project Details:
Pattern: Simplicity 2933, view C
Fabric: Peachskin (100% polyester)
Notion: 1/2" single fold bias tape; 3/8" elastic
I first fell in love with this fabric... it was a great price. The bolt label said "peachskin - 100% polyester", but it felt like a washed silk. I didn't know what pattern I would use, so I bought my standard 2 yards. I was in need of more warm weather tops and discovered this one. This was a very simple pattern that can be whipped up in an afternoon. I put this one on the same scale as Simplicity 2938.
I didn't have to make any alterations to the pattern. I did however use french seams. I also used elastic at the waistline instead of the suggested ties. I didn't machine stitch my facings, I handstitched them for a cleaner finish on the inside. I like my garments to look good inside and out! I really like the pleats, front and back... I think they really make the top look interesting. Even though I doubt if I'll ever sew this again, I recommend this top as a great addition to a Spring/Summer wardrobe.

Misses' and Women's Blouse
This blouse has an underarm gusset and tiny puffed sleeves. In Styles I and III, ribbon is drawn through the neckline casing and elastic through the sleeve casing. In Style II, embroidered edging at the sleeve and neck edges serves as casing. The blouse may be worn off the shoulders. Top-stitched braid trims Style III.
Notions -- Style I, II and III: 2 spools of thread.
I made this dress already for my mum – and always wanted my own.
It does not fit properly, but I wanted it to be finished for the holidays. When I have some time left and the energy, I will rip all the seams and adjust the upper part once again. Now I don’t feel like putting any more effort into it. Maybe next year as I like the fabric and in general, the shape of the dress.
