My DD attended a spring fling event on April 21. The
color for the event was blue, anything blue. She asked me to sew a blouse in
blue with a large bow at the neck and palazzo’s pant in silver. She Choose Butterick
6419.
I started with pant, the fabric was bought at Joann’s
for 19.99/yd. Thank heavens for 50% coupon; I bought 3 yds. There is enough
left over to make a blouse.
I use my TNT pants (Butterick5941) made a muslin, extended the front crotch length and tweak the fit in the
hips. I use the muslin as the pattern to cut the fashion fabric. The fabric
took me out of my comfort zone, because of the appearance on the right side (liquid silver) , however, it was a knit and it sewed like
butterrrrr.
Next was the blouse; I did a muslin, there was
minor adjustments in the back because of her narrow back and a swayback. I did
not do a swayback adjustment in the muslin, instead I did the adjustment on the fashion fabric when I sewed the center back seam (I learned the technique in a class I took
at Craftsy) and it was perfect. The fabric was from my stash and its polyester
something. There is enough left over to make another blouse or maybe a skirt.
Please forgive the wrinkles because both pieces were
washed and I was a bit lazy and did not feel like pressing the garment.
This was a success because I took the time to plan,
organize, gather all my supplies and dedicated a block of time every evening to
get it done.

Beautiful! I'm just starting to think about sewing garments. First up will likely be a pair of PJ pants for the hubs.
