Chiffon Peasant Blouse

 Baby Girl needed some new clothes, so we headed to the fabric store and spent $40 on fabric to buy 5 new shirts.  Here's the first one: 
I used Simplicity 1915 for the basic shape.  I split it down the front a few inches and attached a bow.  I also added elastic on the sleeves.


Chiffon may be my least favorite fabric to work with, but I love how the shirt turned out. More importantly, she loves it too-she's already worn it twice.

  1. You are an all star mom. My mom HATED sewing on chiffon, but she too was a trooper and made me a ton of ballet skirts through my middle and high school years. Major mom points for sewing clothes, bonus mom points for doing it with chiffon!

  6. Cute shirt! I don't have any luck with chiffon, but I bet I could make it with a different fabric. Great Job!
