@Manuela, disqualify if it doesn't meet the criteria. I'm joining into these challenges for fun but want to meet the rules.
Ann's Entry #1
Lori's Lacy Blouse with Machine Embroidery was a test pattern for a doll pattern designer. The machine embroidery was a big challenge as two of the files would not work for us. I spent several days in January trying to help the designer but to no avail. In the end I used the lace design which worked.
The machine embroidery is done using sewing thread and a fine needle which may be why there were problems with some of the files. The blouse is made from quilting cotton and was an easy test pattern. The print was chosen to give the blouse a Victorian look once the lace was added.
The blouse pattern was done like most other blouse patterns. The front which has the button placket on it was serged, turned back 1/4" and the placket topped stiched down. The button placket was added like other blouse patterns. The neck is finished with bias tape and the collar is zig zag stitched down. It works fine for this blouse though I do know of people who do this on their clothing.
This blouse was time consuming as I spent a lot of time testing the embroidery. The blouse was easy to sew though I did finish all the seams and puzzled over instructions. Part of being a pattern tester.
