I was sewing until just a minute ago. I got the urge to sew another blouse from the same pattern I made.  I’d bought 4 pieces of cheap fabric, I don’t want to waste good fabric on a blouse I am figuring out how to make.  But they both turned out fairly well.  They feel great on and I can move my arms all around and reach and stretch.  But they might both be a little boxy.  One fabric is an olive green kind of medium weight slubbed gauze, very easy to sew on.  The other is a deep claret, silky, lightweight polyester if I am not mistaken.  It has a crumply look like a lite velour.  Both have low deep necklines and a type of shawl collars, an empire waist line. Now to find some nice fabric and make a real blouse from it.
