And Alma #3 joins the coven

 

Hmm, probably should have brushed my hair before the photos.

Alma version number three.  After making version 1 and 2, there is now without doubt a coven of almas inhabiting my wardrobe (thanks to Oanh for the suggestion of what the collective noun should be).  Does this officially make this a TNT pattern?  Or do I have to do a version with sleeves for that to be the case?

 

 

I really did to intend put on sleeves this time, but it's just been too damn hot and of course I wanted to wear it straight away.  This is the easiest version - no collar - made up in a retro-look cotton from the Spotlight sale. I made a size 6, but graded down to a size 0 at the hips this time, and can still get it on without a zip. Bonus.  Looking at the pics there is a little bit of pulling at the sides. Maybe I should have braved a FBA?

Not much else to say, a  simple shell-top/blouse that will be good for the (hopefully) final hot hot days and should work through autumn with a cardi on top. 


Pattern: Alma blouse by Sewaholic, used before so therefor free.
Fabric: 1m of cotton from Spotlight = $4
Details/alterations: cut a size 6, taking in the side seams about 1cm under the arms to just above the bust dart, graded down to a ) at the hips, omitted the zip, made it sleeveless by using self bias to finish the armholes.
Cost: $4, gosh this one was a bargain.
