Vintage Sewing: Casual Blouse Butterick 6270 (1950)
Last week’s make was something more for my everyday wardrobe. I need lightweight shirts for spring and this fit the bill.
The details are a bit lost in the print but in person you can see them well. Next time I make this pattern I’ll use a less busy print or just a solid.
Adjustments; I had to size down and shorten the bodice and sleeves. I plan to tailor it a bit more but I wanted to test a sweater vest with it first. This pattern was a bit too big for me and I do have a bit of trouble sizing down a pattern rather than my normal of sizing up a vintage pattern.
Pattern: Butterick 6270 (1952)
Fabric: Thrifted. Looks like a Liberty if London print. Feels like viscose. I love the micro floral print. I tend to lean into those because the bees and hummingbirds aren’t more inclined to chase me in the garden. Things you learn over the years.
Buttons: Vintage (pictured)
Hair flower: Yours truly.
Gray hair for everyday sparkle.
I already have my next project on the cutting table. We’ve been keeping busy during this uneasy time. Its hard to detach from the news.
Keep your hopes up friends, xo-Thea
