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!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
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.
