Done, with Final Details!
Here's the blouse, all finished. It doesn't look much different, except that it now has all the buttons and I've done the first round of ironing on it.
What you haven't seen yet are the labels. Here's what I'm doing with the labels for this project:
Yes, more flowers! After the first 72, what's a few more?Q/A: I wasn't clear on yesterday post about the blouse, and Designdreamer quickly figured it out. Here's the glitch: "You lost me on the: ' I then placed the lining and fashion fabric right sides together at the opening and machine stitched them together' Wasn't the lining already pretty much attached to the inside? How did you get it to the outside?" Right. What happened was that I actually installed the placket, installed the loops, stitched the lining and fashion fabrics right sides together on the loops side, pulled the blouse right side out through the opening on the placket side (since it was still open at that point) and *then* felled stitched the placket side shut as the very last step. When I blogged about it, I stuck the fell stitching in with placket stuff because that I wanted to keep all the info about the placket together.
Carolyn left an answer in the comments regarding yesterday's Q/A on the fitting books, here it is in case you didn't see it: "I have both books but haven't done a side by side comparison of the techniques. So why do I own both books? Because each author gives you a different perspective on fitting and I find both books useful in different situations. " Thanks Carolyn, yes, another perspective is always useful!
Parting Shot: Pizza Night! Here's my son, helping to make pizzas. The kids really like picking out their own toppings and putting them on.

The blouse is lovely and is perfect for the suit. Love your label too.
Thanks for the feedback on the fitting books. I suppose I don't really need another one then do I? Mmmm....
Pizza night - we do that sometimes too. We do that for lunch with sandwiches as well. I cut up the ingredients and serve them on a platter and each makes their own from there.
Beautiful blouse and a perfect label.
Love the blouse.
Thanks for the additional info -- I think I get it now.
Summerset .- greetings from Barcelona. You have to forgive my "English" because I am writing thank the translator on-line. I hope you understand my text. Thanks. I have met through your blog Tany (wonderful person and divine), and although I have not yet had time to see it all, I congratulate you for your work which I admire. You have very good explanations (good teacher) and everything is very instructive. Thank you for sharing these experiences with the rest of the world. A big hug from Barcelona. At your disposal. Paco
S - here comes one of those gushy posts! As a sewist, I am always trying to take my own sewing to the next level and you definitely inspire me to do that with the wonderful techniques and details that you add to your garments. Everything is so well thought out - from the bead trim to the buttons with a little beading added to the placket on the side. I would wear that daggone top to work underneath a suit - with a little less glitz of course! *LOL* Even your d*mn labels are beautiful! So thank you for sharing your beautiful creations with us and even though they are show pieces they can still inspire other sewists to reach new heights in our day to day sewing!
Wow - love the label. Beautiful work.
Now I want pizza...
Gorgeous! The blouse is perfect! Your labels reflect all the hard work, caring and devotion you put into everything you do. A Work of Art, from the heart!
Such a feminine blouse. Yes, it ties in perfectly with the MG outfit. Such lovely details.
