In progress
I’ve been tweaking on the Sewaholic Alma blouse since I made up the one for Jungle January. I’ve cut out a different size on the front, made up a couple of muslins, adjusted darts, etc. etc. and I decided to go for it. My fabric is called Stretch City Charmeuse from Fabric.com.
It’s going to either be cute or clown, I haven’t decided which. I’m making the view with the long sleeves, so I’m a bit nervous that it might be too much, but hubby says he thinks it will be fine and that I worry too much. If nothing else, I’ll have something to wear for St. Patty’s Day, right? 
BTW, I decided to take my machines apart and get all the lint out myself. I tried to oil what looked like it needed it, but I chickened out about anything terribly close to the computer components, so I only bought myself a short term reprieve I suspect. Though, my machine was running so much more smoothly and quiet, just like when I get it back from a service that maybe I did an OK job. I did my serger too, which was so much less terrifying. I always forget how quiet (which is totally a relative term–it’s never very quiet) my serger is after being lubed up. Since it sounds like we’re going to be snowed in for the next few days, so I should have plenty of time to finish up a couple of sewing projects. 
I like the fabric! I hope it works out. It be a shame to only wear it St Patricks day, though St Patrick’s day is soon!
If I feel like it’s going to be too much, I’ll put the cap sleeves on it instead. Or make a cute cream vest to wear over it…..oooooh, I think that might be the thing to do!
I love the fabric! Green is my favorite, I am sure it will turn out gorgeous
Thanks, I am a lover of anything green or blue and everything in between.
I figured worst case scenario, I could put the cap sleeves on it and wear it that way.
Thats lovely fabric- you’d better keep an eye on it!
As of yesterday they still had a few yards, you could pick some up if you haven’t already…. *peer pressure, peer pressure*
Oh I know what you mean about adjusting darts, cutting up/down sizes etc etc. It will be great. Just do it! Besides I really like the fabric you’ve got ready too
).
PS can you please do my machines too?
That’s beautiful fabric! I’m a green-a-holic so I’m immediately a fan
Can’t wait to see your finished product.
I’m so terrible about remembering to oil my machines. The serger is lucky if it gets cleaned out for each thread change (and I usually do 3-4 garments in a color before changing). I’m so mean to my beloved machines!
Love that fabric–tiny dots are always appealing.
Great fabric & I’m interested to see how your Alma turns out – just bought it myself & am particularly taken with the capped sleeve version – however, if the long sleeve delivers what it promises I reckon that could be a wardrobe star. So you see, will be watching on with interest!
I think the fabric is really cute!! Can’t wait to see your finished Alma tee!
