I’m glad everyone liked the straps on the skirt. Molly does too! Since “in-class” school has been postponed for a while, Molly told me to go ahead and finish this set and hopefully school WILL be in session soon.
Today I worked on all the unseen things that are necessary but not noticeable on the outside.
I moved the shoulders on the blouse in so Molly didn’t look like “The Flying Nun” as Joy thought… :o) Here they were the first time…
Yep, a bit too full and floppy…
So I changed them last night and made them somewhat less wide in the shoulders…
But they still looked too droopy to me…so you know what that calls for…sleeve headers. I gathered up narrow strips of tulle and stitched it to the underside seam of the sleeve… now the tulle fills out the inside of the sleeve cap and makes them nice and round…
Yep…one of those unseen things that makes a difference. You can see a post I did on Sleeve Headers HERE if you like…
Ahhh… perfectly puffy sleeves…
Next I sewed on 3 sets of snaps down the front and topped them with 3 white buttons. I started my snaps down low enough that the blouse can still be worn with the lapels open if you like.
Yep…another unseen feature that will make this one stand out…
I wanted to make a black tie for the neck but didn’t want to sew it in place since the blouse can be worn with lapels open. So I pre-tied the black and white ribbon and stitched it to a piece of 1/8″ elastic. On one end there is a loop and on the other end there is a button…it goes under the collar like this…
Just another unseen Jeanne Marie feature… :o)
The ribbon can be worn on top of the collar or underneath.
I also found some saddle shoes in my shoe drawer for Molly…black and white ones!! Perfect!!!
Of course new white socks were in order…here they are…
So all that happened today… and it’s pretty much unseen stuff… but how nicely it all comes together in the end…
The skirt ended up being just a hair too snug in the waist when I tucked the blouse in, so tomorrow I’m going to fix that…
Okay…now for accessories I plan on a tam or a beret, but who wants a bookbag? Or should I make something else?
See you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
