Daisy sews OWOP, Day one: a bird blouse!

OWOP: or

‘One week one pattern,’ A week of wearing one pattern in many different ways.

My choice is a 1967 vintage Simplicity dress pattern no. 6965.

you can read more about the reasons I chose this pattern HERE

Yesterday was Day 1: I popped into work. It was very hot, so I decided on a casual approach .

I ‘hacked’ the dress pattern: took it in, shortened it…. and behold!
…. a blouse in a pretty “birdy’ pattern cotton.

One sleeve…..

…two sleeves….

……and at last we have a blouse…..

My Boss took these pictures… 

I had to explain what I was doing and that I needed a photographer.

He is a jolly good sport!

I inserted a ‘dress zip’ at the back in a bright yellow to coordinate with the ‘blue tits’ in the fabric!

The blouse being 100% cotton was a good choice for this late summer day, it was 23 degrees by afternoon.

I work in a beautiful building in a beautiful town….

PS. I had just had a tooth extracted so it hurt to smile….!!

and I love my job!

lucky or what?

Now I am off to see if anyone else is doing owop posts today!
