Love how your blouse turned out. Yes please on next year! I have a plaid my late mother bought to make my dad a shirt in 1955, one of her WIP I inherited. The Love Notions Band Camp shirt is the pattern I have been searching for using it. The fabric is so precious to me that I would not compromise on the pattern. I was already sewing a travel wardrobe module when you announce this challenge and the Band Camp was not yet released, so PLEASE let's do it again! #SewOver50. ❤
I love the way you placed the busy darkness of the print on the bodice and placed the lighter print areas on the sleeves with darker print areas toward the cuffs. Just stunning on you!
The shirt is beautiful! The neckline shape/size looks totally different from the dress to me. I know you don’t do a lot of black but the shirt would be stunning for an evening look with black trousers or slim fit pants. The dress would pair great with red or orange accents too. So many ideas, I guess I just want to steal your makes for myself. Haha.
Whitney’s dress/blouse pattern in located in Supplement 308 Pattern 132. You will find the Supplement information on the page that has Patterns 121 & 122 and the same info repeated on the page with the Patterns 141, 142 & 143. It is located on the left hand border between the binder holds. You will see the Reg. No. 030802 … 0308 is the supplement number and the 02 means it was released in February. To get the year of release you have to convert the Roman Numerals … MMXVIII is 2018. The info is printed on the first page of the supplement and then again 20 patterns later, then after 20 more patterns you will a different supplement number. The Supplement number, Released month and released year will appear every 20 patterns. There are 40 patterns per supplement. Each book is made up of 6 Supplements. I hope this was understandable and helpful.
Gorgeous, gorgeous blouse and skirt. I would barely notice the blue in the blouse were it not for the skirt color. Very intrigued by the asymmetric bottom edge of the blouse when you untucked it for showing the french seams. That was a flattering line.
Hey Whitney, beautiful outfit that blouse is just stunning. What I do with outfits that have keyhole openings and don't want to cut a seam going down is I cut the back piece on the fold obviously omitting the seam allowance, then I cut along the fold up to where I want my opening to end and just finish it with either a facing or bias binding. Again love that outfit and it looks great on you.Bye now
@@WendyGouldin no because if you leave the seam allowance on a d cut on the fold you will then have added volume , say there's a half inch seam allowance on the the back seam if you leave it on and then cut your back piece on the fold without removing that half inch sa you will then add 1 inch to the back piece. Noe you would have to take care when making the keyhole opening since yes you won't have a seam allowance to play with when adding the binding . You would have to sew a very small seam.
Great idea to use a vest to style your dress. My goodness the blouse from precious fabric is just beautiful and with that skirt even more so! Excited to see what pattern you used😊
Absolutely stunning and elegant and that electric blue! Is It the same fabric as your top? I have a q about the french seams and cuffs. How did you do the continuous seam bias placket if you had to connect it to a French seam? And (sorry 2 qs!) how did you attach the cuffs? By hand internally to hide the seam?
The placket gets cut and made inside the sleeve (about 3/12 - 4" away from the back of sleeve underarm seam. Because of this, I can do a French seam easily in the sleeve seam. The cuffs I sewed by machine. I attached the cuffs right sides together and then folded the seam up on the wrong side and actually topstitched to close that up. I could have hand stitched the inside seam, but I like the look of a topstitched cuff, so I went with that on the cuff!

You don't have to wait until next year (but you can if you want)
@@TomKatStitchery gotta make a prototype, and it is a fall fabric so I want to make my current size September '25.
Yes please,to an annual event- I have too many precious fabrics and this gives me the courage🎉😂
Yes! You don't have to wait until next year! Start small and make a toile if you are nervous!
Whoever suggested the clear elastic on the shoulder is brilliant!
Using it!
The hive mind is amazing! We have so many talented sewists in our community!
I love the way you placed the busy darkness of the print on the bodice and placed the lighter print areas on the sleeves with darker print areas toward the cuffs. Just stunning on you!
Thank you so much!
Your blouse and dress both are beautiful! I love how you styled them!
Thank you so much!
Please, please, please make this challenge an annual one!😍🤩🙏 It's one of my faves!
I will try! But don't be afraid to challenge yourself in the meantime!
Sooo gorgeous! Even more beautiful than I had imagined
Thank you! Cheers!
Elastic is a brilliant solution. I thought of putting tucks on the shoulder.
That would have worked too.
That outfit looks absolutely darling on you!
Thank you so much
I absolutely love that blouse! I appreciate the tips on the silk charmeuse.
Glad it was helpful!

Oh that would look so good for a NYE cocktail party!

Don't you lose some volume that way as there is no seam allowance?
@@WendyGouldin no because if you leave the seam allowance on a d cut on the fold you will then have added volume , say there's a half inch seam allowance on the the back seam if you leave it on and then cut your back piece on the fold without removing that half inch sa you will then add 1 inch to the back piece. Noe you would have to take care when making the keyhole opening since yes you won't have a seam allowance to play with when adding the binding . You would have to sew a very small seam.
That's a lovely way to finish off a keyhole, especially on fabric like this!
Great idea to use a vest to style your dress. My goodness the blouse from precious fabric is just beautiful and with that skirt even more so! Excited to see what pattern you used😊
Stay tuned! And thank you!

You don't have to wait until next year! Start small and make a toile if you are nervous!

Make a new vest to wear over the olive dress. You can’t go wrong with a vest.
I plan to knit a colorful one and have a cream one that I knitted a few years back. I need to pull it out!
