Hello and welcome to Sew Smittin!
In the past month I have discovered a passion for sewing clothes!
I attempted my first project Tilly's Mathilde Blouse and was hooked.
I started my sewing journey on my Smittin Treasures blog and I'm wanting to chart my progress ups and downs, warts and all on a separate blog.
Here are some photos from my first blouse.

| Sharon's Blouse My work colleague/friend Sharon is sewing along with me and we will be doing the occasional pattern at the same time. I'm looking forward to my new adventure and hopefully (!?!) some new clothes! |
Your first project? All those button holes and tucks? Amazing! That's a lovely Mathilde blouse (and Sharon's too), I really want to make another one, your choice of cotton lawn is perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks and thanks for dropping by, enjoyed every scary stitch! :-)
DeleteThis is really pretty :-) - very impressed with your buttonhole
ReplyDeleteHave been contemplating this pattern - maybe I really do need another one!
Hi Justine - lovely of you to drop by and thank you! - I would love to see your version of the blouse - just started following your lovely blog through the link with Amy at sylkotwist - I love your skirts! :-)
DeleteWow Eilidh you've done so well with your blouse. How did you find it to make? And I adore the buttons. Very cute xx
ReplyDeleteHi Ali thanks I really enjoyed making it, bit scary being my first make, but Tilly's online instructions were excellent and very easy to follow, you should try one! x
