It was a very brave decision to add extra fabric at the back - much better to do that instead of having a blouse you find you don't wear because it pulls. I am in awe of the inside finishing - this is something I need to learn to do!!! :)HoffiCoffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872359396631142439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-72812434373109951792014-04-26T23:54:22.694+01:002014-04-26T23:54:22.694+01:00Yes Anneg, we are near enough in size, not quite b...Yes Anneg, we are near enough in size, not quite body clones - I'm a couple of inches taller - so it is very handy when working on a project like this.<br /><br />It is worth being fussy about the insides.

Being a bit of a perfectionist (meaning I have to do everything as well as I can, not that it's perfect) I would spend most of the time checking and rechecking things and end up not having enough time to finish!<br /><br />I have to make the insides as neat as I can whether or not anyone is going to see them or not - I'm getting better with age, though, and able to let things go a bit now - life is just too short!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-29595119236321619692014-04-26T16:15:06.681+01:002014-04-26T16:15:06.681+01:00Wow!

You daughter is truly beautiful. My first thought was she needed a strand of pearls. Excellent sewing - yes finished seams is a great challenge idea. I wish we could watch the The British sewing bee in the US, too. copperheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037011110543753301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-53869168352979673722014-04-26T14:54:29.476+01:002014-04-26T14:54:29.476+01:00Thanks Helen Mae!

I note your comment about what they never show you on the GBSB. That would be an interesting added dimension to the show given how quickly they put those projects together. lovely to see your vintage buttonholer on the 201K. Keep up the good work.<br />Hugs<br />GGavin Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737186300519027548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-85228906847475980722014-04-26T10:26:01.486+01:002014-04-26T10:26:01.486+01:00The blouse turned out beautifully.The blouse turned out beautifully.Elvis Liveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407975774594200487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-30704302416223202802014-04-26T05:47:39.991+01:002014-04-26T05:47:39.991+01:00Gorgeous -- both blouse and daughter!Gorgeous -- both blouse and daughter!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895516057450453227.post-56565364118081213672014-04-26T05:01:11.835+01:002014-04-26T05:01:11.835+01:00You did an excellent job with the entire process! ...You did an excellent job with the entire process!
