Showing posts with the label blouse

So long, Blogspot. Hello, Wordpress!

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 ...

{Deer & Doe} Datura two ways

As I sit here watching France play Croatia in the World Cup Final, I thought it'd be fitting to share my two versions of the  Datura blouse  by Deer & Doe. Even though I want Croatia to win. Sorry, France. Deer & Doe are probably my favourite pattern company. I have made a few of them and have plans for a  Mélilot  soon.

{sewing} Sewaholic Pendrell blouse - the reboot

Quite possibly the *girliest* thing I have ever made. EVER! But I really, really love it.  Isn't it fab? The pattern is the  Sewaholic Pendrell blouse . This is my second version (first one can be found  here ) of it. It's a super simple pattern, very flattering and easy to wear. This time I decided to add some detail to it rather than just making the plain version. I love the pleated sleeves.

{sewing} The Susie Blouse by Sew Over It

Oh, I've let the posts lapse again... I know, I'm rubbish. But, to be fair, I don't get anywhere near as much sewing time as I'd like. So when I get some free time I'd rather be sewing, not typing up a blog post. Yes, I've said it. I'm not even sorry. ;) Anyway, today I'm showing off my  Sew Over It Susie Blouse .

{sewing} Mathilde blouse

Today I'll share my  Mathilde blouse  by Tilly and the Buttons. I finished it in the summer but promptly forgot all about it - yes, I know how bad that sounds. In my defence, the cotton I used for it and the long-ish sleeves meant I didn't have many opportunities to wear it up until the colder weather arrived. Hoje vou mostrar minha  blusa Mathilde  da Tilly and the Buttons. Ela foi terminada no verão mas imediatamente esqueci de sua existência - eu sei, péssimo. Em minha defesa, o algodão que usei e as mangas quase longas contribuíram para que eu não tivesse muitas oportunidades de usá-la até o tempo esfriar um pouco.
