Chilli Blouse

April 2021

I happened to be in Abakhan again (I know how does that happen?)… and found some more of the chilli fabric that I had made shirts for Paul and Robin out of. I had a silly thought to make matching ones for myself and Milly!! Milly was having nothing to do with us though (so I still have some of the fabric spare… will come in handy when Robin grows again, and I need to make him a bigger one!).

I was tempted to use the shirt pattern for mine, but in the end decided to use the same blouse pattern I had used previously (Burda 6849 – https://kariscraft.space/index.php/2019/06/27/another-dragonfly-shirt/), but just make it bigger this time. The dragonfly blouse isn’t quite right – either length of the body / position of the waist – so sometimes feels a little tight, and I am constantly pulling it down. A size bigger I am really happy with!
