1912 Blouse

I finally got it figured out.  Had to take it all apart and re-cut the body of the blouse.  I did some major changes on the fit of the blouse, made it much longer, added a band on the bottom, and changed the way it was cut.  The blouse back center seam wasn't on grain the way it was originally laid out, at least I didn't think it was but, after changing it to the grain line, it fits so much better.   The sleeves fit smoothly now and don't bind like they did.  The seam where it attaches to the blouse body is so strange, you don't match the side seam with the sleeve seam, the sleeve seam is to the front.  It is even cute done in the pink dot cotton and will be perfect to wear with jeans or even a skirt for church.  I am looking at skirt patterns from this project to make to go with it.  Still haven't made up my mind which one I want or if I want to make a wrap instead.  Of course if I make a skirt then I can always just wear a lacy shawl that I already have.  Another think to consider.  My group still hasn't been given a pattern to work on but I know they never thought that so many people would sign up for this project.  There are about 400 participants.  I am sure that at least 1/2 will drop out after the first pattern. They are really tough but are a good stretch for my sewing skills.  Will post the pictures sometime this weekend!
