Fruity Peasant Blouse

By on July 21, 2013

You may remember my black Swiss dot peasant blouse I made a while back. In keeping with my Summer peasant blouse series, the second blouse using Butterick 9768 has been made!

 This time I used a raw silk with the most adorable fruit and floral print ever!

 I am thrilled with how it came out. The weight of this fabric is perfect for this pattern. It’s also such a quick project!

Swiss Dot Peasant Blouse

I recently made this black Swiss Dot peasant blouse from vintage pattern Butterick 9768. This is the first of many that I am planning on making this summer. The pattern is easy to whip up and looks great with a variety of outfits. I bought the pattern on Etsy and in a size 14 which is perfect for my modern size 6 or Medium.
