Inspired by my time in the patternmaking
department at Anna Sui, I purchased this beautiful fabric

| 100% Silk - Gorgeous |
 |
| Unintentionally the same colour scheme - 100% Cotton |
 |
| The Interns corner |
 |
| the evolution on post-it |
....to design this wee
blouse I sketched up during a quiet moment between tracing off patterns and
photocopying spec sheets.
Months later, it’s nearly a year since I
arrived in NY to live my life a Newyorker in fashion., on returning to Australia, I’ve taken time out and 'waltzed' once again with costume, but the 'tango' of Fashion has seduced me back
to create.
So I thought I would blog my way through
the realization of this wee blouse.
I’ve decided to call it the Jennifer blouse!
So where have I started.
As I said, my
inspiration has come from the amazing pattern makers at Anna Sui,
Make a front from an existing
block in calico
Pin the top onto the mannequin &
 |
Draw the design onto the toile. (Once I am happy I will cut and add seam allowance to another toile)
|
 |
| Make the centre tab and bunny ears |
 |
| Experiment how to attach the ‘bunny ears’ |
 |
| I attempted 4 different styles and have opted for inserting the ties into a seam that will be attached to the neck band. |
 |
| At this stage I will use a button hole tie rather than knot so that the bunny ears will sit just so. |
 |
| The tie through will be hidden by a piped from tab that will be held down by a decorative button. |
 |
| Or should I just knot the fabric? |
 |
| What do you think - feed back welcome? |
So far so good. will Blog as and when I find the time to progress.
