Blouse take two

I breezily said I was going to alter the neck on the Mathilde blouse, but the truth be told, I had no idea how to! Anyway, I unpicked the front facing with my new stich ripper (my mum bought me a new one from the stitch show in Sunday) and stood in front of the mirror all full of false confidence with dressmakers chalk.

 
It was fine, I took out a scoop  from the front and cut the same scoop off the facing and reapplied it. Great, I can breathe whilst wearing it now.

 
I tried all sorts of colour adjustments on the computer today but Little M was taking the photo so that is best I could do.
 
Got to go, the girls are weeping and a wailing in the bath some argument about a duck from the sounds of it... Jo x

    So gorgeous! I wondered if it was Liberty fabric and see from your previous post that it is. I'm glad you can breathe in it now. :-)

    Hi Jo, my name is Rosie from Old Magnolia Tree. I've been picked out as your swap partner for the Ladybird Diaries Christmas Decoration Swap.
