Ok, thought I should share... I've been sewing a few things, but I don't have pics of it all. And some are toiles that need to be adjusted to get it right.  Anyway, I love this new blouse pattern (new=first time i made it). It's the Norma Blouse from Fibre Mood. And the fabric is local, and I love that this fabric is very affordable.


Also as I am a diver, I make my own socks to wear under my neoprene boots. And now many of my friends want them so I'm sewing for them too...haha. They're super easy to whip up. But sourcing swim fabric here in Borneo isn't easy.

That looks a nice useful blouse.  Thought you might be wearing the socks with the outfit! :laughing:

I love that blouse! What are the socks made from?
As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."

Thanks. The blouse is nice and loose for the hot climate I live in.

@Bumblebuncher the socks are made of swim fabric. They're meant to use when I'm scuba diving. They make putting on neoprene wetsuits and boots easier, and help avoid rubbing.

Love your Norma blouse @ScubaGirl! I made mine into a dress with a tiered skirt having seen one on Instagram. The blouse even has its own Instagram page!
