Liberty blouse


I whipped up this Liberty blouse yesterday for Baby, using the Onion 10016 pattern.  I tried to translate the pattern via Google Translate and it turned into absolute nonsense, so I got some courage and dove into the project!  I sewed French seams for the first time (since I don't have my serger in DK) and I am a complete fan.  I used a Liberty Tana Lawn print that I got for my birthday last year and love the way it turned out.  A mother of pearl button from the stash adds the perfect finishing touch.

I have a feeling that spring is on its way.  We have had a few sunny days which are ALWAYS a delight and the birds suddenly appeared at the lake near our house.  Fingers are crossed...

Very cute! French seams are pretty amazing, aren't they? I always feel like a professional seamstress when I use them.

Totally adorable. And inspiring! I'm tempted to put it on the long, long list of projects for my baby girl ! Or a similar blouse as my Danish is pretty rudimentary...
