Debuting a new make today: a blouse in a viscose crepe by Mood, from a Maker’s Atelier pattern, the Tie-Front Blouse. Feels great!
For sewists, I added a dart and did a FBA (it seems to be drafted for a B cup), but otherwise the pattern worked well.

There will be cats in this feed. And sewist adventures. Lute pictures, because lutes are gorgeous. Sometimes people (also gorgeous, but, you know, creepy face recognition.) occasional musicology. Weird humor. Garden pics.
