  7. Thank you so much for the kind words!

    I've worn both blouses several times already and will probably make up this pattern again--it's a favorite now!

    Ruby--a hair tutorial is in the works, so stay tuned :-)

  11. Such a beautiful outfit! :) I'm definitely loving the peasant blouse; I have a similar pattern in the stash, but haven't made it yet--but you've inspired me to maybe try and fit it in before summer ends!

  12. Thank you, Casey!

    I have to say, peasant blouses are very satisfying to make, as they sew up so quickly. They are wonderfully flattering, too! I can't wait to see your creation :-)
