M6841 - Proof I do Wear What I Make!

Its usually weeks after I make a garment that I actually wear it.  I don't have a camera man on hand most times either, so I never really get quality shots of myself.  So of course we get a nice bathroom shot.

I am so in love with this blouse that I knew I wanted to wear it immediately.  I still have to hem the red pants that I made to accompany my blouse, but I will get to them hopefully by the weekend.

Happy Sewing!

McCall's 6650 - Animal Print Pussy Bow Blouse/Top

I have always lovde the "Pussy Bow".  It is just something about it that is almost regal to me.  I've been holding this pattern for months and I knew immediately when I saw it I wanted to make it.  I had cut out a beautiful yellow rayon fabric with a paisley contrasting fabric for the bow. But I was perusing another blog, and spotted a Pussy Bow Blouse, and I knew this pattern would be perfect.  I wanted something soft but with an edge, and so I decided to use an animal print sweater knit I had in my stash with contrasting black bow and cuffs.

I made a few modifications:  omitted the placard in the back and added contrasting cuffs.  I love how it came out, and I can see myself with a couple more of these.  What do you guys think?

 

Happy Sewing!
