I've been wanting to move my blog away from Blogspot for a while but could never be bothered to actually do it. This week was the tipping point though, and I've now fully migrated over to https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . The blogspot address will remain here but all new posts will only appear at https://patsypoomakes.wordpress.com/ . There are lots of reasons for the move but my biggest one is how hard Blogger has made it for people to subscribe to receive new posts via email. It's such a basic requirement but apparently, they think it's too much to offer. I'm basing this purely on how I myself prefer to consume this stuff. I can't be arsed with feed readers anymore and emails are easy and convenient. When I receive one, if I fancy reading it, I will click through to it and, if not, I'll just delete it. Another reason is the spat between Google (owners of Blogger) and Instagram/Facebook/Meta. I don't even know if this is still the case anymore
Hello!
Today I'm going to talk about my second go at the Sew Over It Susie Blouse. I made it once before and you can find that post here. I really enjoyed making it then and I wanted to make another version. This time, with the 3/4 length sleeve. Here it is.
I actually made it at the beginning of the year but it stayed forgotten in my wardrobe until recently. I have no idea what the fabric is, but I suspect it's some kind of linen blend. It creases quite easily - as illustrated by the photos 😃 - and it frayed like crazy while I was sewing with it.
But it's lovely to wear and one can never have too many white tops. Plus, a chelsea collar to boot? Yes, please!
I'm off to Copenhagen tomorrow for a few days but I've been in a crazy sewing frenzy over the last few days, so there are LOTS of projects for me to show. Including one that almost broke me earlier this week. There were a few sneaky peaks on my instagram this week.
I'll be back here before the end of the week to share some more stuff. Until then, thanks for stopping by.
