Title: Lekala 4424 - another UFO completed
Post by: Ploshkin on April 02, 2017, 10:52:26 AM
This one has been hanging up waiting for buttons since last summer (that's how hard it is to find buttons round here)
Fabric is a linen look cotton from Doughty Bros.  The picture hanging up makes it look a bit shapeless but it has princess seams and is a really good fit.  It buttons down the back.  This was my first ever Lekala pattern and the measurements were spot on.

Nice one!  Like the hem detail. Just a bit different. I love petal sleeves and have a few dresses I,ve made with them.   But I HATE ironing them.  They are such a pain and time consuming.   :)

I've remembered that the pattern had a big flouncy bow where the curved fronts meet - definitely not me so I did a small shoelace one with the binding fabric instead.

 0_0 0_0. Yep big flouncy bow wouldn't be my choice either!  Your delicate one is much more stylish.

Lovely blouse Plosh, just in time for the warmer weather.  I love the front detail, and I like a button up the back blouse too.  Not looked at Lekala for ages, must have a glance over there :)

I'm going to be starting on the UFO's after Easter (must finish the Peter Rabbits first), because the pile is just growong higher and higher!!
