The Mosaic blouse

We've spent the most wonderful day in the village of Tabanovce. It felt like a day stolen from heaven!
I wore my newest blouse I made yesterday. I named it the Mosaic blouse.

The pattern being simple, I decided to experiment and add a bit of character to it.

The 'mosaic' is appliqued up at the shoulder and along the side for effect. I played with it and thought I might add something in the center, but it seemed 'crowded' and just didn't fit the picture. For the applique I used a piece of upholstery fabric. I still have some of it left and I plan to make myself a clutch.

The fabric is the cutest shade of neither blue nor green which I love and actually bought 6 meters of it. It was a bargain so I couldn't resist.


However, this is not the end of the story. I also made Eva a tunic and plan to make something else for myself. Drafting the pattern for it.

  1. I love the blouse, love the picture. The appliqué is what takes the blouse from OK to great. Good to see appliqués used in an adult fashion.

    Good job.
