Finally, it is finished. This is what I made out of blue silk duppioni (sp) as sort of an overjacket. http://www.timmelfabrics.com/lafredathena.jpg I had one heck of a time with the sleeves and that L seam. Put it in and took it out twice. Then I left it over the holidays and when I went back to it, it went together like a dream. No problem at all. I have also ordered the Italian Blouse, http://www.timmelfabrics.com/hinseitalianblouse.jpg to make from some linen I have. I want to wear something besides T shirts. I feel like a slob.

I love the neckline on that Italian blouse by Loes Heins.. It is so elegant looking.. I cannot stand anything up tight on the front of my neck.. It feels like I will choke..I think it may be because I suffer from underactive thyroid gland..I would love to have that blouse in a black and white print of a random sort. (not a busy print)

That Italian blouse pattern is lovely - you always have liked Loes Heins designs. I can't remember if you told us how the Artemis coat went together?( I might have the name wrong - the La Fred one)
love and kisses, Jan

Finally got time to take some pix of the Athena Blouse. They are not great and in every light the silk takes on a different hue. I am not happy at all with the buttons but it was the best I could find for now. I may take these off if I find something I like better. The collar just begs for some embellishing but I wanted the fabric to be the focus. I will make this again from linen. I chose to have it as an overblouse and not lined. http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mary_wlkns/album?.dir=/f349&.src=ph MaryW

Interesting way the sleeve goes in. Lovely colour Mary..and is that a pile of clutter I see lurking behind the door near the ironing table?
love and kisses, Jan

Oh, so sorry. I give tips, that doesn't mean I am necessarily neat at all times or even organized.  It's impossible in my room.
