I just saw a blouse made of the Cambie on the Sewaholic flickr group and I realized that if you use the bottom of the Cambie and the top of the Alma blouse you will have the exact Anthro blouse you are so in love with!

I find this pattern growing on me with versions like yours. My other thought for you regarding pretty blouses is to look at dress patterns and envision them at "blouse" length. I love to do this, and it opens tons of possibilities.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14292164227898629226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218633955785619491.post-15851490438837297672012-08-12T08:42:15.253-07:002012-08-12T08:42:15.253-07:00Really adorable!

But as soon as they get it in, I'm buying it. There are so many fabrics that this would be great in. I also wasn't sure about doing the peter pan color, but yours looks so cute that i might give it a shot!<br /> <br />I would think adding the peplum wouldn't be too hard. I would make a simple waistband that fits, put it around the top, and then adjust the top to create pleats in the desired places (measure so they're even and pin in place), tack the pleats down and then topstitch the waistband part on over top. If it's not billowing out enough at the bottom, then I'd make the top angle out wider toward the bottom hem before cutting the top out, which would give you more fabric to play with when making your pleats. I'm no expert, that's just what I would do. I might try it out. Just need to get that pattern first!! Have you found your cute penguin fabric? =)soisewedthishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11132339220603233156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218633955785619491.post-6926995748445563482012-08-10T08:56:59.278-07:002012-08-10T08:56:59.278-07:00Such a cute version.
