Pendralma the Second and Alma Part 2

Okay, so I made these over a month ago, and due to severe Hate-My-Current-Project-Itis, sadly never blogged these.  Enjoy!


Pendralma the Second

  




Details:


Pattern: Sewaholic Pendrell + Sewaholic Alma neckline and collar
Fabric: 1 1/2 yards of cotton voile; Palos Verdes Albalone Cove grey/orange (sez Fabric.com)
Notions: none.  well, thread. and pro-sheer light interfacing in the collar
Notes: Not my first rodeo on this one: see here.  Also, possibly the fastest completed garment ever...how many is too many for 1 wardrobe?


Alma Part 2






Details:


Pattern: Sewaholic Alma, retraced and amended, with plain collar and cap sleeves
Fabric: 1 1/2 yards of cotton voile: Palos Verdes La Venta green/gray
Notions: invisible zipper, uh, and thread
Notes: Not my first rodeo on this one, either: see here. Except dumb-butt-me complained last time about shortening the front waist darts, but brilliant-me realized I could just not sew them.  Problem solved!

With both blouses, I used sorcery to save fabric.  Okay, not really.  On the Alma, I cheated by tracing out a complete front and back so I didn't have to cut them on the fold.  That way I could squeeze more pieces on the the flat fabric.  With the Pendrell, I cut a good 3 inches off the length of the pattern, so I could squeeze those pieces together on the fabric.  In both cases, I pieced the bias neck tape for the neck and arm facings.

I have one more piece of Palos Verdes cotton voile.  Should I wait for the new Sewaholic Belcarra blouse? Or veer off for parts unknown?
