Statement Wallys

WALLYS- the new edition of @fibremood is out today and this is one of there patterns featured! It’s the Wallys blouse, a wrap blouse with pretty dramatic sleeves. I figured this pattern was perfect for a fabric that was in my stash for a looong time. I bought it 2 years ago on eBay, it’s probably very synthetic (i don’t know!) but i fell for it anyway. A gorgeous print, so vibrant and dreamy. But SO slippery. I have been ignoring it because of my fear to cut & sew it. Just dreaming about what i could make with it if i just dared to take the plunge..
But the Sew Brave challenge of the @sewcialists came along and together with the Wallys pattern gave the last push to just cut into the damn fabric!

To be honest, it wasn’t as hard as i thought it would be. I used a new needle, took care to pin & clip everything so it wouldnt play around and it came together pretty fast. Silly me for waiting so long to use this fabric!
I made a size 38, probably could have sized down. I lined both front pieces because the fabric is a bit see-through and i didnt want the facings showing through.
I made a mistake with the cuffs: Although i have really narrow wrists, the cuffs are way too small! I think i folded the cuffs the wrong way but i am not exactly sure. I made a different button solution and now it is a design feature. ?

I am really happy how it turned out & i now have a statement blouse in my wardrobe i can wear when i want to make an big impression ?

This is another entry for #makemystash the challenge of @timetosew & @pilar_bear.

Mit dem Überschlag oder Wickel des Tops kreierst du einen V-Ausschnitt und einen locker fallenden Effekt. Diese Bluse betont deine Taille und lenkt so die Aufmerksamkeit weg von deinem Bauch. Du kannst für diese Bluse einen unifarbenen Stoff oder einen Stoff mit Print verwenden.

Für die Bluse Wallys verwendest du einen weich fallenden Stoff mit einem ausreichenden Gewicht, zum Beispiel Seide, Viskose, eine Polyestermischung...
