I enjoyed watching you sew this top. Very clear instructions. I look forward to a completed blouse (maybe tomorrow). Maybe even more than one. This top looks very versatile.
Because I'm a Senior Citizen (85) I had to lengthen the sleeves by 2". I took in the side seams because it was way too big around my hips. Instead of gathers in the front yoke, I chose to pleat the front.
