Sew Liberated Sunday Picnic blouse

I have been struggling to get going of late.

The longer my "to do before the school holidays" list gets,

the more time I seem to spend contemplating cloud formations out the window with a hot cuppa in my hand.

I need to find my sewing mojo

which I suspect has sneakily burrowed away under the messy pile of fabric on my sewing table.

I cut this blouse out more than a fortnight ago.

See, that just wasn't a good start...

I don't do well starting a project

and then trying to get back into the right headspace to continue with it weeks later.

There were lots of pieces that I had to familiarise myself with again.

I used an old sheet for fabric as I need a lot

and didn't want to buy anything given I haven't used this pattern before.

In spite of a good result,

I didn't enjoy sewing this up at all.

You  know how some projects are like that?

I also didn't love the instrucitons or the way it was put together.

That is probably just me.

It isn't a hard pattern.

I just didn't like it.

I like the result but don't love it.

I am not a prissy person so I wasn't sure about the bow.

But it is actually much less fussy because of how big it is.

It will get a fair bit of wear over the heat of the Adelaide summer.

Meanwhile here is my best "hurry up and take the photo it is late I am freezing the camisole is the wrong length I want to get rid of my bra and get into my pyjamas and make a nice hot cuppa by the way remember I hate posing and having my photo taken" look...

And here is the back view while I scowl at the blinds...

All righty then.
Off to try and sneak up on my mojo and give it a good shake.
I have 4 pairs of PJs to make for the boys
and need to stop staring out the window.
