School Wardrobe
Simplicity 2211 - White Blouse
We got our power back within a couple of hours, but I didn't have time to finish up the blouse Saturday, so I finished it up yesterday. It just needed sleeves, side seams, sleeve bands and hem. All of those were easily finished between the regular machine and the serger. Here is the blouse:
I did the sleeve bands a little differently for this one. After attaching the sleeves and stitching the side seams, I prepared the sleeve bands. I stitched the short ends together, then folded the bands wrong sides together then stitched the entire band to the sleeve. I finished it off by serging. This was quicker than attaching one side of the band, folding it, then folding the long edge and hand stitching it down.
It turned out really nice and will look good not only for school but also for choir events where she needs to wear black and white. Next up: the Burda tunic.
Parting Shot: Stairs. We got the power back, so my husband was able to finish the new stairs to the deck. They look much better are safe to walk on, too!

That's a really nice top!
That is such a pretty blouse. The fabric looks wonderful.
Such a pretty blouse!
Beautiful blouse! Do people in your family ever sleep? You all get so much done, all the time. If my husband set out to make steps like that, it would take him weeks to do it. And I'm a slow sewer. I'm amazed at all you accomplish - and the other members of your family, too. (This is meant as a compliment, by the way - I hope it doesn't sound otherwise.)
Nice work, yet again! Thanks for your posts.
Very nice blouse to start the new school year. It's perfect for those warmer fall days.
The stairs do look good. Kudos to your hubby.
BTW- You will hear a lot from me today. It's the first day in a while that I am able to read more than two blogs a day.
I think it's lovely too and not the same old collared white shirt that most of the students will pair with their black skirts!
