I am really happy how this Alma turned out. Shame that the weather is turning too cold and I have to wait till next Spring to wear this again.
Will try to keep you posted on how it goes!

Black & Blue Soul
Black and Blue Soul because Alma means soul in Portuguese. I have finished this Sewaholic Alma blouse sometime ago but only today managed to photograph it. I have been sort of out of sorts (if that makes sense) and some things take much longer to do.

I used a very soft cotton-like fabric which is a bit of a nightmare to work with. I decided to go with contrasting black cuffs and collar and love the result. I planned on doing the black belt as well but the fabric was so fiddly I decided to ignore that. I'm happy I did as I botched up on the narrow hem and will not be using this blouse untucked. I love it with some high waisted trousers!
I'm slowly getting back to sewing (and knitting) regularly. Have quite a few projects on the go now. Focusing on getting one ready to wear next Saturday for the great Birmingham Rag Market meet up.

ReplyDeleteSo nice to see a new post from you, and featuring such a beautiful blouse! I love it :)
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! Could you wear it with a cardigan in the winter? It seems such a shame to put it away until spring. :)

ReplyDeleteI know I'm really beanie only just catching up with this, but how wonderful is this version of alma?! I think it's possibly one of y favourites...I love the contrast collar and cuffs and it looks a perfect fit on you. It was so amazing to finally meet you and sorry didn't say goodbye properly...until next time ( and I can't wait to get sewing with the animal print ;-) )
