HotPatterns 1210: the Fast & Fabulous Draped Blouse

My first make in this New Year is HotPatterns 1210: the Fast & Fabulous Draped Blouse. When shopping over the holidays, I saw this style everywhere! This was a fun and fast project. I like it! I used a drapey rayon knit from my stash, which was a great choice for this style. Designer Trudy always has an interesting technique or two up her sleeve, looking a step or two ahead when writing her instructions. I love the French seam at the front hem, & the back pleat ..... and the neckline went together like a charm. I like this relaxed look, but I might consider going down a size next time. Happy New Year! - Patty
