day twenty-three.

Today I began cutting my button-down blouse pattern pieces out of gold swiss dot chiffon. The blouse will be sheer with the exception of a chevron panel covering the bust and most of the tummy. I enjoy attempting projects that are challenging, but I can already tell this one is going to be tedious.

I added interfacing to the center front plackets and sewed the buttonholes, which happens to be a specialty of mine. I also laid out the center chevron panels.

In class this week I drafted a pattern for the faux leather mini. I mapped out a cool geometric design on the hips, and today Pattie and I played around with different ideas for the design's execution. 

Until next time, 

Amanda
