Bad pattern, nothing lined up properly and it was very tricky to get anything together. Had to redraft several pieces myself and force things together.
Pattern
Juliana Martejevs, size S.
Fabric
Cotton poplin ordered from online shop with self-designed print (40 strokes in a circle - I originally wanted to gift this blouse to my sister for her 40th birthday but then didn’t get the fabric in time…).
Adjustments
I re-drafted the sleeves because they were sticking out in a weird way and not aligning with the front and back pieces. Don’t know what went wrong. It fit better with the new sleeves, but don’t love the cut.
Next time
Not sure there will be a next time, because it was a quite frustrating make. It’s very cropped, perhaps I would lengthen it a bit. And the shapes of the sleeves are not great, especially around the sleeve socket. Collar is a bit wonky, the pieces didn’t really match up as described in the instructions.
