PMB blouse is a wadder

Ok, the PMB blouse is junk, trash, garbage! The last blouse I made with the old measurements was a princess seam blouse for the build a better blouse class and it still fits OK, but this new blouse I cut out and had looking so nice, until I tried it on....the darts hit me about 2 inches BELOW the apex! Darn it. So it is garbage.
I took the cashmere/silk fabric to the dry cleaner for shrinkage and have ordered the lining fabric.
I made the muslin on Sunday and it fit PERFECT,
yes PERFECT right from the pattern with NO adjustments at all...I am amazed and can't wait to get started on the fashion fabric. Yeah, Bruda World of Fashion magazine!!!

#2 Stitch and Flip Jacket

I finished the 2nd Stitch and Flip Jacket on Sunday afternoon.

It turned out really nice and it looks great with the knit Talbot's knockoff top that I made. I even have enough fabric for a straight skirt which goes on the list of projects to do.
Next on the list is a PMB blouse that is layed out and ready for me to cut out. Then the muslin needs to be made for the Burda dress. Those are the only 2 projects that I'm going to even THINK about doing for the near future.
