That is just a small sampling of Gingham Check Fabric blouses on Pinterest.
Thanks to all that pinning Pinterest and my garments on my blog, Lisa at Online Fabric Store, contacted me. She wanted to know if I would like to make a garment from their wonderful fabric You should have seen how fast I could reply to that email!
That is when the hard part began, selecting one fabric.
Online Fabric store has such a selection of Gingham fabric, five pages when you click on that link. My choice was between a 1/4" gingham and 1/8" gingham . My final selection was Robert Kaufman Lavender Carolina Gingham Fabric and you talk about gorgoues to see in person and the feel of the fabric is lucious. I am thrilled with my color choice and delighted in my finished garment.
I used Buttercik 5526 to make my blouse.
I have made this before in white and it is one of my favorite white blouses to wear
I started a couple days ago on my blouse and after a few hours of sewing here and there, I had a finished gingham blouse but I had left off the pockets. My gingham blouse needed pockets, so another 45 minutes of sewing and I really had a finished gingham blouse.
I am sure my new blouse will be favorite this spring.
I want to thank Online Fabric Store and their gingham material for this opportunity.
Now, since I like the gingham look so much, I might need another blouse. I think in 1/4" gingham this time but what color?
Are you planning to make a gingham blouse? If so what color?
I didn't have any plans for gingham, but yours looks so good that I am thinking about!
ReplyDeleteI love that gingham blouse beautiful
ReplyDeleteOoooh - I really like how your top came out.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. Love the pocket detail.
ReplyDeleteLove the blouse and I love your outfit.....cute, cute! What I want to know is how you do 2 pockets in 45 minutes? I knew I was slow!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great blouse. I love the pockets. I say turquoise. I think that'd be a great spring color.
ReplyDeleteLori, It's wonderful! I have a gingham shirt on my list but bought an orange one just today at Old Navy at 30% off!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that!!! I am just dying to make myself a gingham shirt. I really love the lavendar.
ReplyDeleteOh I love your gingham shirt! Super cute.
ReplyDeleteReally cute blouse on you! I especially love the pockets! Blouses like these I consider a pain to make but NEVER buy any at a store because they never fit. Yours is adorable! I really must make one for myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteFabulous blouse and now I want a gingham blouse. I saw a woman sporting a yellow gingham blouse with a red skirt.
ReplyDeleteI love the classic style of this shirt with the fun summery gingham, and the pockets look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYour shirt is really well made and thought out. The pockets are my favourite feature.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE gingham print. Your blouse is very well made - I can tell. It looks great on too!
ReplyDeleteThe shirt looks great! I'm planning a gingham shirt dress, in black and white. I'd wanted a shirt dress and then saw a picture on Lynn's Blog (Wonderfully Made) that she had put on there from a RTW collection of one in black and white gingham and it looked great! Got the fabric the other day, just got to get around to cutting it out and getting going!
ReplyDeleteHow did you get the collar and the collar band pieces to fit together?
ReplyDeleteIt seems the collar band is too small for the collar. I checked that I cut out the right size from the pattern. What am I doing wrong?
