I did it! Here's my first project. I actually completed it a week ago today. I wore it to the temple on Thursday and to church on Sunday, and in both places received many compliments. It fits, and I really like this pattern.
Today I'm starting a new blouse. Fabric.com sent me an email with an invitation to download a blouse a pattern, which I did. It involved printing and taping together 25 pages. I laid them out on the living room floor and used pins to hold the corners together, then taped the edges. Then I picked up the whole thing and put it on the kitchen table, where I traced what I hope is my size--Size 18--onto tracing paper. Now I'll be cutting it out of some scrap fabric and sewing it up to see if it'll work to sew the blouse.
Hi Ellen, your blouse is very pretty and turned out well - a good start to the sewyourownwardrobe challenge. You are brave downloading a pattern - must be quite tedious sticking it all together. I do hope it goes well for you. I'll be adding you to the stash sew-a-long, thank you for joining :-)
