I made a pattern and then sewed a blouse

Today I made a pattern for a peasant blouse using this tutorial.

Then I made two peasant tops.  I liked making my own pattern because I was able to add length to both the bottom and the sleeves.  I only put elastic in the neck area as I don't care for it on my sleeves.
Its kind of neat because there is no front or back so you can just throw it on.  You could put a bow or something on the front to dress it up if you wanted to.

  1. This is GREAT! You did an awesome job. I have thought about making my own blouses and you have just given me the incentive I needed!

    They look beautiful!

  2. You did a good job on those blouses! I am impressed! I will have to give it a try too. Usually, when I "wing it" without a pattern.. well, let's just say it's not pretty, but even I might be able to do this! :D
