In the first installment of “garments I’ve made ages ago but have been wearing too frequently to take pictures” is this voile blouse, which is really cool and comfy in this hot weather. It is Gertie’s Portrait Blouse (as made here and here) so other than moving the tucks so that the print matches up, there is nothing new to say about the pattern. Except that the fabric was a present from Gillian all the way in Canada!!!
Gillian and I are almost the same person on different sides of the ocean; we are both teachers of little kids, we both love polka dots and we both have similar colour palettes. When I posted pictures of my Aubergine Hummingbird skirt, Gillian loved the colour and since I had plenty I offered to send her some. In return Gillian showed me pictures of her stash, but it was all pretty and I couldn’t decide so I asked her to send me a surprise. She sent me this lovely, soft, buttery voile that is so easy and cool to wear. I made this blouse and I’ve worn it at least once a week since making it.
This is definitely my most worn top of the summer and the colour fits in so well with my wardrobe. Thanks Gillian!
Another Little Crafty Creation 
I’m so please that you made a blouse you love! It loks great on you. That fabric sat in my stash for far too long! (Speaking of projects sitting for far to long, I have a mostly finished Hummingbird skirt from your fabric that just needs a zipper and a hem. It feels like cool-weather fabric though, so I’ll finish it up in the fall!)
it’s lovely. the colours look great on you!
Looks gorgeous – that purple is one of my own perfect colours, too
I love this post series idea! I think I need to do this too!
