Is it possible to make view A into a blouse?

[April Henry]

Using the dress pattern I altered it into a blouse – here’s the blog post: http://stitcheryfriend.blogspot.com/2010/01/sweet.html

Hopefully, this will provide inspiration for doing the same. However, the Music Class blouse pattern is a must-have! It eliminates the guess-work and allows for a nice button cuff.

Thank you, I see it might be too much alteration for me to carry the button placket down to the bottom of the blouse. I think the music class blouse will work.

I thought I remembered seeing a picture in the pool of someone doing just this:

Hope this helps!

I was about to post and say I did! The picture of the one I did is above. I kept the button placket as it was, though. I’ve also done Music Class (three times!) and I would do that one if you want a blouse that unbuttons all the way down. Much, much easier IMNSHO. I had to lengthen the top to make it into a blouse, and would lengthen more if I did it again. HTH!
