Trying out the SBCC Mimosa Blouse

I don't know about you, but sewing is a stress reliever for me. Well, unless I'm under a deadline, but I usually avoid those with sewing. I read about the Sewing Indie Month contest and thought, "Hey, why not??" So I found the SBCC Mimosa Blouse and thought it was just what I'd been looking for lately.

I used a lightweight polyester I found at Hancock's in their spot-the-dot clearance. I actually went back and bought more to make my daughter a dress it was so cute!

I didn't do a muslin, figuring this would work as a wearable muslin. It turned out pretty well. Next time, I need to do a small FBA and lower the bust darts. Luckily with the busy print, you can't tell! All in all, I love this and will be making another in the near future.

The skirt is also me-made. It's the Fay Skirt from StyleArc patterns. I changed the pattern, since it was a little odd with a self-lining. I just eliminated the lining and hemmed the bottom. The fabric is a scuba fabric I found (also at Hancock's). I love how it turned out and I wear it a lot!
