Hi everyone, I just wanted to draw your attention to this challenge which is coming up in April as I'm co-hosting it with Gabrielle from Cloth Edit.

This looks great Tamlyn, so many beautiful blouses to choose from I can't wait to see them all. 

Which pattern will everyone be making? I'm on the lookout for something similar to the Anna Allen Anthea blouse but with a lower neckline. I did try adjusting it but it didn't work out too well

I'm hoping to try the Anna Allen forthe first time, and maybe if time allows the patina blouse too.

I'm hoping the Frankie counts. I haven't made it yet, but I have some great fabrics. If it turns out, I'll order the long sleeves and try that too.

Jan from Eureka CA, way up north on the coast where it is mild to moderate, but not warm like So Cal.

Have you looked at the Sewing Patterns by Masin Amalfi blouse? That has a very similar vibe but a lower neckline. it's on my list for this month

This should be the motivation that I need to finally make the Nepheline blouse I've been planning since last autumn 😆

The nepheline blouse is lovely.

I've done 2. One as part of the g&g jit in white with lace insert.

A second using the cotton lawn from the Jan box. On this one I did the pleats on the sleeve.

I made the Nepheline blouse-  Loved the mint green crepe which was a supplementary fabric in the August box - emailed Hayley as needed more fabric, she had 70cms which I bought. This is the result.  Have already worn it.
