Built by Elena
Quite a few years ago when I was a student living in Melbourne, I
procrastinated. I'm not a very good student. One of the things I
decided to do instead of my assignment was to sew a blouse
completely by hand (I did not have a sewing machine). It was a
black tunic. Needless to say it really didn't turn out well... all
I had was pattern, cloth, scissors, needle and thread. I did not
serger my pieces and oh, did it fray. I had no idea what
interfacing was so of course it really didn't turn out well. I
hardly ironed the fabric. I think I wore it once to humour myself
and that was it.
Now 10 years later I decided to sew myself a blouse. Some months
ago I came across this pattern at Simplicity by
Built by
Wendy and I was inspired to make it for myself. It looked
simple enough. So I thought about it. Then a month later I found
this book Sew U by the very same Wendy Mullin and it
taught me how to sew a blouse. So I went and bought the pattern
online and slowly planned my project.
