Why I love this pick
I haven’t had a chance to make this pattern yet, but I have sewn the Phoebe Tank by the Fabric-Store.com and can say that you’ll love sewing this peasant blouse. It’s an easy pattern that will walk you through all the steps to create the ideal top for your me-made wardrobe.
The instructions are clear and detailed. They even feature a link to a tutorial on how to make your own bias binding if this is a technique you’re unfamiliar with. The sleeves are slightly gathered at the cuff creating a shape that is unrestrictive and feminine. Cute ties at the neck opening are a cute detail you’ll love to wear.
