The shirt actually looks great - but as someone who always does an FBA, I agree with your thinking. It’s not just about available ease, it’s about sufficient space/shape exactly where it’s needed. I just think an FBA always improves the overall fit - but this is a great blouse for you! 😊
Hi Carol. I love your Closet Core Kallie tops. I don’t own that pattern because I wasn’t sure if I would wear it. Seeing your shirts makes me think I would like the top. I missed joining your zoom. My Saturday’s are so busy, it’s difficult to fit in extra things. I do hope to join you again one day though. Have a great week. 😊
Hi Cynthia! I hope you're able to join us again on Saturday! I haven't watched your latest video, but saw the thumbnail and loved the dress! I have to catch up on everyone's Friday Sews because I'm really curious about the fabric and the pattern.
Hi Sara! I was surprised at how much I liked the lemon shirt too. I plan on putting a pocket on the white Kalle and embroidering (machine) a design that - hmmm - is a subtle message of my resistance! 😉 (and now one will really know, unless their staring at my pocket!)
Hi Carol! Sorry you're not feeling well. I like your toile. I'm sitting here listening to you cutting out a pattern right now that I'm not sure of the measurements😮😅😮
Hi, I empathize with your cold. I'm in the same place with trying to get energetic enough to sew. Oh, I SEW love that lemon print shirt. Isn't it awesome when fabric that is questionable turns out so beautiful sewn up? I love the look of the pleated shirt. I would use something crisp but very, very lightweight. I question whether you would really need a sway back adjustment with that pattern because the pleats hang from the yoke and it is very full/loose fitting and won't be pooling in the small of your back. I think the sequence belt is a terrific idea with the dress. I can't wait to see it finished. ☃ Bernadette
Hey Bernadette - I'm sorry you've got a cold, too! Isn't it terrible? And mine is just hanging on! I was SEW surprised when I tried on the lemon shirt because I thought it was cute too! I like your advice on the pleated shirt. One of the ladies in our weekly zoom call said the same thing -that I wouldn't need a sway back adjustment because of the pleats hanging the way they do. If you ever want to join our "sewing circle" call on Saturday mornings, send an email to pollysews22@gmail.com and I'll send you a link. We meet every Saturday at 7:00 am PST. Take care - I hope you feel better soon.
Yes yes yes regarding the black shirt with the skirt. Great transition to summer.

Thanks, Moira! When I make the Kalle again, I plan on doing an FBA. Are you currently sewing anything?
I hope you feel better soon. I think your blue dress with a sequin belt will be fabulous.
Love the shirts & the top. The black/Lemon shirt is cute 🙂
Thanks, Deb. I was surprised at how much I like the black/lemon shirt too!
