After already making a sleeveless blouse and dress from the Anna Maria Horner Painted Portrait Blouse/Dress pattern, I really wanted to try it again but this time with sleeves...
I chose some prints from Tula Pink True Colours and Eden that coordinated with the dark denim Tencil that I was using for the main part of the blouse.
I used some of the Crouching Tiger print in Amethyst from Eden to feature on the back of the blouse.
This time I did a pieced yoke which was quite easy to do and I used some of the pink lawn leftover from sewing the other blouse for the facing.
The last step was to sew the hems - although I did feel like I was being watched very closely by the tiger...
The front and back....
I wore the blouse to Tulas trunk show and Tula was kind enough to have a photo taken with me wearing it which made my day:)
Your blouse looks fabulous Kirsten! Did you get Tula to sign it? At the trunk show which I attended (The Quilter's Store?) she was signing dresses, quilts, anything!
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet and love the photo with Tula! ;-)
