Peter Pan collars are super hot in womens fashion for this season, but for young girls this style never ever has been out of fashion. Never will either I suspect. I drafted a pattern using bits of everything, for instance the shirred back panel comes from an old Ottobre. Pretty pleased with the end result.
The fabric is a gorgeous quality cotton poplin, in a pale blue with cream, brown and medium blue dots. And tiny Mickey Mouse figures. I suspect this is fabric overrun from Donaldson, I bought it in Belgium for 3 euro per meter. The blouse goes really well with the Oliver+S skirt from last post by the way.
The bad new is, Ms Pfaff threw a hissy fit when it was buttonhole time. At least ten messed up buttonholes and much cursing further, I got my old Elna from the attic and finished the blouse with her. Ms Pfaff is now being serviced by the dealer. Apparently there is a problem with the fabric transport. When making buttonholes, the fabric tend to bulk up under the pressure foot making a big tangled mess. Also, the two ´´caterpillars´´ sew up unevenly. If anyone who has the same machine recognizes this please let me know how you solved it. I have a Quilt Expression 4.0. Thanks!
