The June Blouse

Hey remember that upholstery fabric that was my Sorbetto muslin? Yeah, the one with that sad and unsteady piece of handmade bias tape pinned to it? Thats the one.
If you could only see it now! It has sleeves, a scalloped hem a beautiful detachable/reversible collar and many (but sadly not all) of its raw edges are enclosed. The sleeves were unbelievably easy which made me feel really stupid when I think about how long I've had a weird aversion to them...
Anyway, it's nearly finished, I just have to determine and execute the neckline finishing and voila! Something completely different than the previous 5 Sorbettos.

I've christened this top The June Blouse in honor of my grandmother. I just couldn't get her out of my mind while I was sewing it and I think this is probably because she would have loved it. It looks like her - fancy and elegant - and I know that if I could have showed her, she would have just been over the moon about how talented she thinks I am. She was the best, and I miss her very much.

This top is dedicated to you Nana :)

Pictures later.
