BurdaStyle club is on tomorrow night at Tessuti, and I can’t wait! We’re starting a SewAlong together. I have never done one before and I’m really looking forward to it. You know how it is- you can sometimes end up with things half-completed and then wadded somewhere if the going gets too difficultt- but I’m thinking if I’ve showed other sewers that I’ve started something, I’ll be shamed into finishing it, and we can help each other over the rough patches!
We’re using BurdaStyle patterns, and this is the one I’m using: The JJ Blouse.
I really need a new work shirt, because my favourite one just died. It looked a lot like JJ here, minus the ruffles. I’m not sure I’ll include those actually. While I’m not exactly Pam Anderson bust-wise, it’s not an area of my body that really needs extra emphasis either.
‘Dead blouse’ was white cotton with a self-stripe, and I think I’d like to make JJ up in something similar. I had a look on the Tessuti website and saw a couple of white shirting fabrics with interesting weaves, and a few with french dots. But I’ll see what strikes my fancy when I get there in person- lots of BurdaStyle members have made this blouse and they’ve used all kinds of different fabrics and prints. The pattern just specifies ‘japanese cotton’ and I know there’s quite a bit of that at Tessuti- maybe I’ll get inspired to use something colourful.
