Visiting us today from our Advisors Circle<\/a> is Lori<\/a> who has stopped by with her Maritime tops<\/a>, Weekend Getaway Blouse with pleats tutorial<\/a> and Terrace Dress with shirt tail hem<\/a>. Today she’s here to tell us all about her Rush Hour Blouse that she sewed for herself.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

A peplum blouse and princess seams sounds like a great combination, so I went to work on it with just a few changes. This top is high waisted and I am not! I had a ready-to-wear top which had what I described as a drop waist and then the peplum, and I loved that top. The Rush Hour Blouse<\/a> seemed like the perfect pattern to try this option. Plus, it has such a fun peplum with that front overlap.<\/p>\n

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

This pattern is for multi cup size, A\/B, C +D which is such a plus for the pattern selection. I used the A\/B pattern pieces and went with a size 12 but next time I will size down to a 10, possibly an 8. I did take this size 12 in at the side seams. My main change was adding three inches to the length to get the look I wanted.<\/p>\n

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

My fabric is a stretch woven for the bodice and really was a difficult fabric to work with. Hard to press, wrinkled immediately and just was a pain, so sorry for some of the wrinkles in the bodice. I wanted to use a navy with the printed knit for the peplum. The knit is an ITY type knit and was great to sew. It was thin, and I didn\u2019t want to worry with hemming it but wanted a finished look. My solution was to bind it with that difficult fabric. Sewing the binding wasn\u2019t as difficult as I thought and the end result was just what I wanted. Another plus to the binding, it added some weight to the lighter weight knit and it drapes perfectly.<\/p>\n

I passed on the lining. My fabric was so stretchy, and it concerned me about lining this type of fabric. Liesl\u2019s instructions are excellent and I find them so thorough and helpful.<\/p>\n

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

One benefit of princess seams is many more fitting options. I should have fitted these seams a bit more in the back and will correct this next time. I did insert the invisible zipper<\/a> but with the stretch fabric, I did not need the zipper for my fabric. If your fabric is stable, yes, do add the zipper.<\/p>\n

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

I will make this one again and adjust the sizing and try it in a stable fabric. Try this fabulous pattern just as Liesl drafted it or add your own changes to it. Either way you will have a top you will love!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
