However, muslin is quite stiff, in "real" fabric the sleeve won't puff that much. I know because I starched my silk for my shirt and the sleeve looked a lot like your muslin one, but after washing the starch away, it was a nice sleeve alright!<BR/>Happy birthday to your son!LauraLohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09450981301329994368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-58267807711440630652008-03-17T09:54:00.000-04:002008-03-17T09:54:00.000-04:00I like the puffy sleeve.

I like the flavor that the puffy sleeve gives also- I don't think it would be as cute without the gathered sleeve either. I am glad you mentioned a pattern with the cup adjustment that is a little like this as I found the pattern in a sack from a Hobby Lobby sale that I had forgotten about. I could never do all that drafting and fitting you do- it is a major accomplishment for me to take a hacksaw to a commercial pattern and sew anything at all that sort of fits or buttons. I am sure though when you make the final one I will add it to my I wanna sew that someday list also. I already have about 10 of your pattern numbers waiting for me but hey what's another one in the stack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-8464509756322266252008-03-16T17:26:00.000-04:002008-03-16T17:26:00.000-04:00MUCHAS gracias!MUCHAS gracias!Donna Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704336987498541444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20350253.post-52071614480422654442008-03-16T16:48:00.000-04:002008-03-16T16:48:00.000-04:00First, you made me laugh with the title of the pos...First, you made me laugh with the title of the post! :) <BR/><BR/>Second, I agree with the semi-puffy sleeves on the blouse...if you make a straight sleeve you are going to lose some of the charm of the blouse. And I think the look will be okay for both of us! *LOL*<BR/><BR/>Third, I love the way the bib looks now too!<BR/><BR/>Finally can I say that I'm eternally grateful to you for working out all of these fit issues on this top and can't wait to get a copy of the pattern.<BR/><BR/>Remember anything you want from NYC! Email me, we will discuss!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I hope your son has a great birthday!
