Note	Found the lace at a deadstock scrapbox. I did combine this with a cotton Dobby from another project, and suitable for this blouse. Make sure you will use a lightweight fabric, as the gathers will be too sturdy otherwise. This project took a lot of pinning, basting, surely as well due to my thin fabric. To begin with did skip the collar and made a different type to it. I also decided to skip the gathering - . Instead I made tiny pleats as this outlook is less ‘pompous’. I made the lace run all the way up to the cuffs, made the blouse itself 17 cm longer, so it would be easier to keep it tucked in in a trouser or skirt. Already browsing trough my other patterns, as I then had also brought with me as well a leftover of sage-color crepe and a pistache color lace. My next Lekala project. Yep, there is no cure for it…. LOL.
