Sailor Husband has the day off (hurrah!), so I’m taking a bit of a break from blogging today so we can do spend some time together! I also wanted to show you a sneak peek at the 1940s sequined blouse I mentioned last week. It still needs snaps for the side placket closure (somehow I managed to completely run out of snaps in my stash!), but it’s 95% complete. Hopefully more on that in a couple days…

Have a lovely Monday, friends!

Ooh, love the sequins! I want to do this, I have a pack of vintage copper sequins I could use.

Your blouse looks lovely! Can’t wait to see the completed project (even though it’s practically done!)!

Alyssa January 18, 2010 at 15:47

I like the sequin detailing. Done by hand as usual, I would guess?

Ernie January 18, 2010 at 17:38

How gorgeous! I would totally buy this in a store :]

beautiful!! I can’t wait to see it on you!

Wonderful blouse! I love the practicality of separetes, it’s so much easier to make them work for me. Dresses are great, but for everyday wear I prefer things I can combine, like a fancy blouse with a simpler skirt. I bet that blouse will look great with the favorite skirt you showed us a while ago!
Have a great day with your man! =)
Cheers!

Hey is this the sencha blouse??? I made one out of cotton and I am not pleased with it… I need to make it out of something silky…. this is divine!

Erin January 18, 2010 at 22:50

Love it! Just enough shiny to catch the eye without going full showgirl. :D What fabric did you use?

Danielle January 19, 2010 at 00:04

so cute!

Nadja January 19, 2010 at 00:19

That blouse looks like a dream! Have a nice day with your husband!
