McCall's 5522

Okay I made this little number several weeks ago, but I haven't had much time for blogging. I am trying to step out of my boring box and try a few new things and well here is one. It is made from a polyester chiffon that I purchased from Joann's. It has a bit of brown in it which I wanted to go with a brown skirt that is in the works. Love this pattern!!!!! I will post a picture of me in it when I finish the skirt.

Here is a look at the collar point. The technique I used is from one of Nancy Zeiman's books, I checked out of the library once. Its called "the magic collar" It is great for sheer fabric .

Here is a close up of the neck. All the seams inside are french, and I bound the armhole seam with bias strips of the fabric.

  6. That's a very pretty blouse. You did a nice job on that collar stand, which is not always an easy area to sew well.
