I completed the Sassy Librarian Blouse by Christine Haynes on Craftsy.com. This was a fun blouse to make. I chose the sleeveless version with the pintuck detailing and contrasting bow.
The fabric I chose was a quilting cotton. To go along with the vintage feel of the blouse I used some vintage buttons I got for a dollar at an antique store over the past weekend.
The front of the blouse has bust darts and release pleats. The back also has release pleats. I like the way it conforms to your curves and doesn’t look boxy. The only alterations I had to make was to the back neck. I added a 1 inch dart on each side of the CB to eliminate the gape I had in the neckline.

I've been sewing a little over a year now. I just started making my own clothes and I can't get enough. Love vintage style. I'm always looking for inspiration. I love changing.

Great Job! I really like your version. I bought this class as well and haven’t found the material I like enough to want to make it yet. I love the sleeveless version as well!
This looks so cute on you. Fabulous job!
