Lisa<\/a> (a member of the Advisors Circle<\/a>) is back with us today. You\u2019ll remember her Romantic Neighborhood Sweatshirt Tutorial<\/a>, Weekend Getaway Blouse with Hemstitching<\/a>, Chai Tee Dress and Tunic<\/a>, Heirloom Afternoon Tea Blouse Tutorial<\/a>, Neighborhood Sweatshirt with Shirt Tail Hem<\/a> and Striped Breezy Blouse<\/a>. She\u2019s got something new that is hot off of the sewing machine. Thanks Lisa!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

When I first saw the Rush Hour Blouse + Dress<\/a> I knew I would be making one for my daughter. She loves a peplum top, and I have made several for her already, but the Rush Hour blouse is unique with its fun asymmetrical peplum. As I started sewing the blouse I was pleased with its unique construction and thoroughness of detail. The blouse is fully lined, and the princess seams combined with a Dior dart, give it a wonderful fit.<\/p>\n

Of course, I had to pipe it! I am a fan of mini- piping to give a subtle, but special finish to an edge, and the Rush Hour blouse is the perfect make for this treatment. You can read how to make mini piping in this tutorial<\/a>. I didn\u2019t make any changes to the pattern, but I did alter the order of construction and sewed the shoulder seams first, before sewing the side seams. I did this so I could pipe the neckline continuously, and place the armhole join at the underarm where it is less conspicuous in case the join wasn\u2019t perfect.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

I piped both the peplum pieces from the bottom center back edge, across the bottom, and up the front side.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

There is no piping on the center back edge which would interfere with the zipper. Clip the piping at the corner of the front to get a nice turn.<\/p>\n

\"Liesl<\/a><\/p>\n

Piping all the edges may seem like quite a bit of work, but it eliminates the need to trim the lining, as the piping provides a nice barrier between the fashion fabric and the lining. I also found it unnecessary to understitch the peplum pieces because of the piping. I still understitched the neckline, even though I piped it, just for added security (I hate when the lining shows right at the center front neckline!). I finished the Rush Hour blouse just in time to give it to my daughter as she heads off on a vacation in Italy. It will make a wonderful and sophisticated addition to her travel, and later work, wardrobe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
