Just for the fun of it, I decided to add some embroidery to my chambray Positano Blouse<\/a>, and it was fun and easy to do!<\/p>\n

I didn’t really follow any plan, and I just sort of made up the stitches to suit myself, with little triangles and French knots around the base of the yoke and a feathery stitch around the neck. It’s one of those little projects you can take along on a trip or to the beach, or even do it while watching TV.<\/p>\n

I reversed the feather stitch so it mirrors at the center back, and I really like the effect with the diamond in the center.<\/p>\n

Starting tomorrow the weather might actually be warm enough to wear this blouse, too! Lately I’m still wrapped up in sweaters, but mostly because my workspace is very cool. Bring it, sun!<\/p>\n

I really like how the yoke wraps around the body so you can use a continuous stitch. I think it’s one of the nicer features of this pattern, if I say so myself.<\/p>\n

I did all of this embroidery after sewing the blouse, but you could also embroider before constructing the blouse, especially if you wanted to do machine embroidery and wanted to embellish the sleeves and body like in some of these photos.<\/p>\n

I’ve collected images into my Positano Blouse + Dress Pinterest folder<\/a> for this pattern as well. I hope you’ll find one or two that inspire you to try embroidery on your own blouse or dress! You can pick up your own copy of this pattern in paper<\/a> or in digital format<\/a>. I’m curious to see what you do with it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
