I made another Sewaholic Alma, but this time I made view C with the long sleeves. It was also a great excuse to use these buttons that my mom picked up for me at an estate sale.
"Buttons I cut off of a blouse in my mom's cedar chest- along with a blouse from her wedding portrait- blouse would have been worn around 1910 to 1920- married in June 1920- so buttons near 100 years old"
At first I thought they were wood, but now I am not sure. Some kind of early plastic maybe? The loops on the back are metal. Plus there were only four, so I used them for the cuff closures.
The last one was very fitted and I wanted it to be looser. When I cut out the front and back pieces on the fold, I moved them over about half an inch. That gave me two more inches of ease.
I accidentally sewed up both the side seams forgetting to put in the zipper. However, I can jimmy it over my head if I squirm like a weasel, so no zipper for me!!!
Cuff-stravaganza!
Anyways, I am pretty happy with it and its such a pretty blouse for the fall! Off to two estate sales, have a lovely weekend!
