Quick blouse and some playing with direction - Lekala 4420

I loved this top on Lekala site and I wanted to try. One idea was to do it for the bee but I felt it was to simple. A mistake probably. I did it a bit in a hurry - it was meant to be more of a muslin but I like it and I will wear it.
  I reduced the back width a bit - it seemed to much fabric but now I see it stays weird on my hips so maybe was not good choice. he back seems a bit to long maybe I should cut down and hem again.
   I did gathers in the front instead of pleats - a bit uneven and also I should have placed them more to the center or stick with the pleats next time. The sleeves cuffs fit my hand well enough without a closing needed so i skipped that.
   I also widened the neck line a bit and reduced the sleeves fullness by 3-4 cm ( this was because I didn't had enough fabric otherwise).
  All things considered this is a cute and easy top and I should do more.
  It was a bit of the challenge but I managed to fit it all in 1 m of fabric 145 cm width.

  1. Very pretty. I like using the bootstrap which is also the same as Lakala. I have found when I put my name in their system, it pulls up all my bootstrap information and saved measurements.

    1. L-am purat ieri la servici si parca nu sta mereu cum trebuie V-ul ala. Se prea poate sa fiu si eu putin paranoica da nu mai sunt chiat asa incantata de model, decat poate daca mai redefinesc putin linia gatului.
