I like the look. Having read the comments I was worried I wouldn't understand the instructions. I shouldn't have worried, they made perfect sense. Thanks.

I love this blouson blouse. I replayed the video and the instructions were very clear. I am a visual person but I understood. Seeing the pattern drawn out would be helpful and it was shown on last night's web cast. Thank you Peggy.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I've never seen a French curve used with the numbers describing the curve, and it's genius! I agree that you need a darker marker for the video to show your lines, but just listening and watching carefully worked for me.

Another winner!! I can't wait to try this.

The tank underneath must be stretch fabric because the lace overlay is larger than the tank at the hem so you would have to stretch the tank to accommodate the lace width.

Great idea but I wish you would show your pattern modifications with dark marker and on a board facing the camera

Really great top. Thank you. Great explanation. I love it💕

Hi. Great tutorial! Roughly what size blouse do your measurements make? Thank you.

[evelynbyers]

I'm kinda confused when you talk about the neckline finish. When you said sew the two together and flip it to the outside, won't the raw edges show? Do you fold the raw edges under to form a casing? Are you seam finishing the edges and then folding over?

[vickiedee]

Sorry but your directions are not very clear to the average new be with sewing

[lauralarios]

I don’t think anybody can’t see what you are doing in the papar, sorry
