As promised, here are my completed Lottie blouses! I made two versions - the red one with a vintage crepe from 1920s, and another in a monochrome semi-sheer cotton voile, which was a piece that I bought a few years ago as a "coupon" from Paris!
This is going to be short post, as having hosted the sew-along, there is really not much else to say other than to show you a few photos.
That's it! I'm really happy with both, and think that both will make lovely work blouses, and would be perfect teamed up with trousers and skirts.
Now I can't wait to see yours ;)
both of them are beautiful but I especially like the black and white one. I downloaded the patern thanks you your notification and will defffenetely check your sewalong when I'll start making it.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I can't decide which one I prefer yet, but I'm wearing my monochrome one today!
DeleteThey look lovely! I can't wait to sew my own :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Alecia. Good luck with yours! It's pretty straight forward and I do hope the sew-along could be of help :)
DeleteLove your versions! They are so flattering on you! I especially like the red one, that crepe is just gorgeous! I will try to finish mine this week :).
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yay, I'm really looking forward to seeing your finished product!
DeleteSo sorry to keep you waiting for so long before showing you my Lottie! I had already finished it about a month ago, but never got around to making photos. (Well, finished... I still have to slipstitch the collar closed, but nobody sees it ;).) I do have a good excuse, as I got married two weeks ago, so I was kind of busy ;). I absolutely adore Lottie on you, but I'm not sure that it is the right pattern for me. I probably should take the sleeves a bit in, I don't like how wide they are. And I needed a little extra fabric around my hips, as the blouse kind of sits on my hips. I might tweak the pattern a little and try it again. Your sew along made it a breeze to sew!
DeleteLoved the sew along! Your sleeves are set in so beautifully :-) Can't wait to see a sea of Lotties! xox
ReplyDeleteAw that's nice of you to say - I actually hate setting in sleeves so it's reassuring to hear that you liked them. Yep, me too!
DeleteThey look great, I really the orange one, the fabric looks like it would be a dream to wear :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! The pictures don't do it justice - it's actually a rich red, which I fell in love with as soon as I saw it! Mind you the colour did run lots when I prewashed it (twice in fact), so perhaps it is orange now :)
DeleteThey look great, I really like the orange one They are so flattering on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you my dear!
DeleteYou are adorable. These are so cute on you!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Sonja! You are too sweet ;) I've worn one of them already this week!
DeleteThese are both lovely - that red really suits you.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm really pleased with them, too :)
DeleteThese are both fab x
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire :D
DeleteThese are beautiful. My work has cramped my sewing life. So as soon as that calms down, I will whip one of these up!
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I know the feeling! Good luck and I'll look forward to seeing your versions.
