PATTERN CHALLENGE

PATTERN CHALLENGE:Alexander Blouse #6062


hi
I had joined PATTERN CHALLENGE some time back. U must have seen the logo in the side column but took a lot of time to start off. Well it has been a challenge to me right from the beginning:-). let me explain..........
Sarah of comeandseetheseitz.com had a tough time explaining to me as to how to put the logo in the side bar:-) and the rules.
The rules are:
1. MAKE OUR OWN GOALS......and mine are that i stitch one garment a month at least.
2.blog about it.....have started to
3.Grab the “Pattern Challenge” button and Join the Flickr group.
4 Blog about the finished garments
now let me continue with the story.....
I was full of enthusiasm to start off but wanted to stitch something very different so downloaded this pattern from burda.After this i thought that nothing could stop me now ,but i was wrong AGAIN :-(. I realized that i was not able to print the pattern because burda had some technical snag. Immediately wrote a mail to burda and the bug was fixed and i was successful in printing the pattern. The WOES did not end here......More to come:-)........I am not very conversant with the pattern sizes from U.S. and U.K. assumed that it is going to be the same and bought a beautiful black floral fabric , cut, and stitched........SUCCESSFUL...ASKED MY DAUGHTER TO WEAR IT BUT .......................NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......SHE wouldn't......why???????????????/because she couldn't:-) it wasn't her size at all....hehe








I realized my folly and stitched this for her :-){her size}:-):-)




I have made a few changes though..... stitched up the back opening, added more gathering to the sleeve and maintained the opening through the peplum too. I would say its great for the summer
