Colette Laurel blouse

I am proud to say that I've finished all my entries for the Laurel contest and I now have a lot more time for little things like blogging or for myself.

So today I'm going to show you the blouse that I made for the contest. It took me a lot more time that I have planned but it was worth it.

Laurel blouse - progress

So...here I was, all ready to start sewing my blouse, thinking about how to do the french seams, and then...hubby fell asleep...hmmmm....I couldn't just take the sewing machine and make a lot of noise...what a bummer...

And I said to my self: "what to do in complete silence so I won't wake hubby up???". And it hit me: bias binding!!! So I took my fabric out, found the tutorial on how to do continuous bias binding and got to work on it.

Progress and inspiration

So, here I am, blogging about my inspiration and progress on Colette's sewing contest. As I mentioned before in my post there are 5 main categories and I want to enter them all.

And with 3 weeks to go and 3 garments to make I really have to rush things a bit. Hubby and I were down with a nasty cold for more than a week and that set me back some good quality sewing time. But we're better now and let the sewing begin!!
