HotPatterns: Classix Nouveau Peasant Blouse

Another project from sewing camp, completed and gifted.  This one is a lovely cotton voile.

I think I finally have the hang of making this pattern!  I’ll admit all those gathers threw me the first two times I made this pattern – so much fabric to shrink into such a small area!

But, I’ve developed a method: break the gathering into segments, and be sure to mark the alignment notches on the neck band.  Amazing how a few simple snips can tame chaos into order.

Oh, block fusing the interfacing onto the neck band before cutting it out helps too!
