It is very easy to sew straight from the pattern, but is it challenging? Does it cause you to look at garments in a different manner? Does it alter the way you look at the construction process?<br /><br />Just offering a different view point...Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-85202126491197526752009-05-16T18:41:00.000-04:002009-05-16T18:41:00.000-04:00Major improvements!

I am short but the 8151 muslin I did of the Betzina tee was shorter than I liked so I am betting this one will be also. I know already from what you said the way gravity has taken things south those darts on this one will be too high on me as well. The second version looks great-should be a really nice blouse for you. I want to make this pattern for the warm weather.
