Finalising the Mara blouse pattern, means sewing to optimise the last details. Besides the butterfly sleeves, I’m experimenting with some other options… This is the first result of my experiment!
Some flutter sleeves give the Mara blouse a totally different look. When I first saw the result I was doubting to only keep this option and skip the butterfly sleeves, but probably I’ll just include several ones. The long sleeves are the next step! I saw a beautiful picture on Pinterest that even adds long sleeves underneath this ones. I think I’ll give it a go tomorrow! The fabric is another ‘great floral design’ fabric without a brand mentioned! No flowers this time, but some nice blue polka dots. I made the piping and the bias binding myself. Actually that was the very first time I did this! So easy if you don’t have the right colour in your closet…
I totally can’t wait for this pattern!
Ook mooi, maar ik zou idd ook de eerste versie behouden. Vooral voor grotere meisjes vind ik de eerste versie beter!
Ik heb ondertussen ook een versie met kamsnaps gemaakt, ik probeer deze dit weekend te bloggen!
Groetjes,

oh, die mouwen zijn ook mooi!
This is so pretty, & i think the long sleeve version will be great for fall/winter here in the states!

Adorable! Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
Die mouwtjes zijn keischattig!
So pretty with those sleeves!!! And the polka dots are really funny!

Thanks for all your lovely comments! I really appreciate your feedback. It keeps me going…
Wat een leuk bloesje! Dat stofje is er perfect voor en ik ben fan van de mouwtjes!
The flutter sleeves are precious, indeed!
This is such a great pattern – of course, now I can’t wait to see the dress and the long sleeve versions! Love having lots of options :-)
The sleeves are so precious, Marte! Love it! Though I really like the butterfly sleeves as well.
so cute
I am a sucker for butterfly sleeves and this is a perfect application for that.
