Fit And Sew Clothes That Fit You Perfectly

V7903 – A Perfect Fit

by: perfects Friday, May 13th, 2011

This blouse of Sandra Betzina has been around for many years. And it is still one of my favorites. One of my Elite Club members sewed this up in a beautiful red check.

There is a total of 16 darts in this blouse, but I do believe that it is the darts that help her achieve such a beautiful fit in the waist area.

She did mention that she think she would shorten the sleeve with about an inch next time.

Enjoy her “runnway” movie – Hope she would inspire you to take the time to fit before you sew next time :-)

Have a fitting question – don’t hesitate to post to on the forum

Wow, now I wish I had made sure my picture was a better pose!!

Thanks for showcasing this blouse. It was a fun project and it looks good on. With a ‘thick’ middle, it slims and trims.

I like how it fits you. My problem is having too much in the middle and learning how to alter.

Very nice job, now I want to buy that pattern myself!

Well done Susan, that’s a beautiful blouse!
Perfect fit (of course!) and you’ve done a great job matching the checks. I love the colours.
Thank you for the inspiration!

The blouse looks very nice and well finished. I’d have called it a plaid, rather than a check, just saying.
