MsB Can't have ALL the fun

[albertkj]

I had cut this blouse out in February, but with my football shoulders it still fits.  I finished it for the memorial service since my sister had recommended bright colors. This fabric is Poly - and a pita to sew a blouse - had to hand base the collar in (me who is Bishop trained and almost NEVER hand baste). It is basically a printed chiffon - the body of the blouse is lined in black. I love wearing it to work and the tie falls in a very nice way.

I've worn it with red, with black, with grey - and it would work with a matching burgundy though that is not currently in my wardrobe. And it is my favorite pattern (thank you Ann for encouraging the tie collar and Kat for drafting it). I drops over my head. The only thing I would do different is put 2 buttons on each cuff as they are too soft really for only one.

I puttered with the transparency in the color a bit but it looks realistic - just photographed kind of dark.  And I always tuck my blouses in, but had Jim take these pics with it out so you could see...

Really nice Kathryn! I love it when I can find a print fabric that can be worn with so many other items.

Nice job, Katheryn.  It looks very nice.

[Kat Lind]

HMMMMM - looks like somthing I'd wear - another words a BIG compliment!

[Kat Lind]

And probably a request for someone to sew for her...

Thank you all for your comments.

High praise indeed Denise.

I will have this with me at the user conference - I really enjoy wearing it.

Fabulous blouse, but what did you do with the rest of my friend?  I am going to be pleasantly shocked when I see y'all in November.

Well - the rest of your friend was just visiting. Unfortunately, the visit lasted for a realllllllllly long time.

Looking forward to seeing you in November.

[Denise]

Yes,

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!   And Kat is right maybe in some of our down time (HA HA), someone will sew me a new tunic!

I have lost a little weight myself - about 30 pounds - nothing special - just watching what I eat, cutting back on the desserts - which my boyfriend always ordered when we went out - he ate a fork full and was done!

But now that he and I have broken up (after 9 years)  I am passing on the sweets!   Got to get in better shape to find the REAL Mr. Right!

I will see some of you at the Conference Thursday Morning - it will be good to talk with you all again!
