I made this a few months ago for the Matilda blog tour for Poppie Cotton, but didn’t get photos of it until recently. This was my favorite print and I think it looks like floral cameos!

I picked Butterick 6191, a 1950s blouse pattern which I’ve made before, and stitched up a pretty spring blouse.

I have a love-hate feeling towards raglan sleeves. I really like how easy they are to sew – anything to avoid setting in sleeves! – and they are comfy to wear. But they often look a bit baggy, which bothers me a bit on this one.

I did trim the cuffs myself into a cute little scallop, cutting a matching shaped facing, to dress them up a bit.

Some vintage Battenberg lace from my stash dresses up the collar.

I had the perfect small shell vintage buttons in my button drawer!

After making it I wished I had paid closer attention to matching the motifs in the front – but overall I think it turned out very pretty. I just love this sweet fabric!

On some of these photos you can catch a glimpse of my other Matilda project in the background – a classic postage stamp quilt which I am slowly hand quilting. (I made a quick how-to reel of how I made this one, which you can find on Instagram, if you want to make your own.)

All ready for spring in the prettiest shade of blue!
