My Fabric Designs - Datura Blouse

Today it was 80 degrees, which means bring out the sleeveless tops. I finished this one last week and I am so happy with the print solid combination.

My print fabric is from My Fabric Designs, specifically a cotton sateen. I love this fabric, it feels incredible, presses and sews beautifully.  So if you are undecided on what fabric you want, then go with the cotton sateen.  

I only ordered 1 yard of this fabric and really what was I thinking?  I get on the My Fabric Designs site and I just find so much I want to get, so this time I went with 3 choices, 1 yard each.  My plans were for sleeveless tops.  Great for warm weather and for layering with cardigans.
As I have said before, we are remodeling and many of my patterns are in storage.  I decided to go with the Deer and Doe Datura Blouse, which I loved the first and only time I made it

After looking at the pattern pieces, I decided to do use this cream cotton knit from stash.  It was a perfect match and would be just what I needed for the bodice.

I knew from my last time, I really didn't need the buttonholes to get the blouse on or off.  I just sewed the backs together on the placket and added buttons.

I really brightened this picture so you could see the buttons.

I loved the fabric and was so happy to make this blouse again.  I just need to remember, bright sun means sunglasses and then no squinty  eyes!

Disclosure I received this  fabric as an allowance from My Fabric Designs. I was able to select the fabric and what I wanted to create from the fabric.  The opinions of the fabric are all mine.
