Black and white floral print blouse

Friday morning, my hubby looked at my new top and said  :  " This is nice, but.... you can't  wear it to work ! "

Yes, he is right,  sleeveless outfits are not allow in my working  dress code. 

" Why don't you sew another one with sleeves ? " he suggested.

" Oh , that is a good idea ! "

Yes, I wanted to  sew another similar pattern but with sleeves. One of the reason is I am not so used to  wearing sleeveless outfits.  I like to make but I may not wear.

So on that afternoon, I got into my car and drove to the fabric store, which is about 15 minutes drive from my home. Lucky me , I managed to get the same fabric and sewed the  blouse yesterday.

I know, it is nothing new, the same pattern except this one is with sleeves. But who cares, as long as I am happy and enjoyed sewing it. :)

For this blouse , I sewed two darts below the bust and another two on the back bodice. I sewed an invisible zipper below  the  left  armhole .

This time I did not use the invisible zipper foot to sew the invisible zipper. Instead I followed the tutorial Don't fear the (invisible ) zipper by Kay  Whitt in her blog Sew Serendipity. As suggested in her tutorial, I used regular zipper foot to sew it. Oh ! It really works and the end result is perfect ! Look at the picture below .

Thanks ! Kay Whitt.  Kay Whitt is a designer of sewing patterns for clothing and accessories. Do check out her blog !

I have one week holidays left. I hope I will be able to make the full use of it . I am going to sew some more new clothes. Check it out in my coming new posts ! :)
