Hello sweet friends! It is hard to believe that we are in the last days of August. I think for many of us our thoughts turn to fall once we turn the page to the September calendar. But before that happens here is One Last Summer Blouse.
Butterick B6217
The blouse was made using Butterick B6217, using the View C bodice and the sleeves from View B. This is my very first Patterns By Gertie and I loved it!
The blouse went together very smoothly. It would be a good blouse for a beginner. Although some assistance may be needed in attaching the inside facing of the blouse.
One Last Summer Blouse
The fabric is a vintage cotton plissé I had found at an estate sale.
I did find that the sleeves were a bit voluminous for my taste. So I simply tacked down the excess fabric using an inverted pleat.
I love this fun detail!
The blouse can be worn tucked in or out.
Vintage flower-shaped buttons make a sweet little accent.
I will perhaps make “view A” in the future as I really enjoyed this pattern.
Next, I’ll be tacking a few autumn-inspired dresses and of course the annual Halloween costume.

Beautiful as always Laura! I really like how you improvise the details you don’t care for with an even better detail. You are still one of the most creative and talented artist s I kniw❤️
Oh wow, Laura – so very pretty and feminine! That blue really is your color! Love the buttons too! ~ carol
So feminine, Laura. I appreciate the detail on the sleeves and those charming buttons. I went crazy, crazy over the prior Victorian dress but didn’t leave a comment. I’m still thinking about that dress. This light summer blouse is something I would look forward to wearing on a warm day and you and I like blue; it is so fresh-looking. I admire you so much.

Very flattering style on you. And love the sweetheart neckline!
I just LOVE the neck! And the color is beautiful on you. Nice detail on the sleeves and back. This looks perfect for the hot Dallas days!
Lovely, Laura. I am so fond of the neckline.
Love that sweetheart neckline and such a pretty, cool color!
