She roamed the button jars and chose five odd yellow buttons. So cute, and she wears yellow rickrack in her belt loops with the blouse!
I'll get a pattern picture up in the next day or two.

A Vintage Blouse for Clara
Clara wanted a simple vintage blouse, and this pattern had a Peter Pan collar, tucks to fit the waist, and 3/4 sleeves gathered into bands. I had just barely enough gray polka dot flannel to squeak it out. I would have made it an inch longer if I could have. She's way over 5'10 these days.

What a lovely blouse, the fabric seems just right for Clara.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The yellow buttons are such a perfect accent!
ReplyDeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely! I've got to make more time to sew.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lovely blouse - I love polka dots : ) Finding the right fabric for a blouse is the tricky part for me! This one's perfect : )
ReplyDeleteMy 14 year old stepdaughter is 6' so I understand about having tall teenagers and how difficult it can be to have modest clothing for tall girls.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric. But 5'10", WOW!
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea that Clara was that tall! I am 5'10" and the same age as her. I knew that she was tall, just from pictures and things, but I would've never guessed. :-) I love the blouse, simply gorgeous, and I love the idea of the five odd buttons.
ReplyDeleteunmatching yellow buttons - clever!
ReplyDeleteI hope one of my children decides to play cello - I would never get tired of hearing that.
