Notizen	A long wait in the row of ‘Yet do be done’. Made in a very thin crinkle chiffon. Therefor I did double all (back, front as well as the fly piece). This manner made it more complicated, but hey, who says that all things need to be easy? The model neatly skims the body. It’s OK, but a next time I would make the armscyes a bit larger (but that’s just ho I like it). As I have bulky upper arms, and the blouse is sleeveless, I made use of a sleeve pattern (Lekala 2825 Blouse with double collar). As there was not enough fabric to cut the sleeves in one go, I did use the sleeve head (4 cm under the armscye, and divide the leftover piece of fabric). I made a hem, but the sleeves where too wide, and made my whole upper body look bulky. So I did unpick the hem, did use a mall strip of fabric, did add the sleeves, and gave this trip elastic band. Much - much - far more - much better! PS Whilst taking the pix the sun was shining mercyless (3 weeks of +35°), and each time taking a pix the wind started to blow again, paling with the fly as a child with it’s kite. So, it will have to do… The color of the blouse is light mint green, but this is barely visible due to the sunshine. What I like of the model: it has a bit of WOW, but is modest at the same time. I will wear it with pleasure.
