One blouse I do love is this one. Made from a left-over piece of lightweight wool from the stash (last used for this) dyed solid green.
Butterick 9899 was a gift from a friend who - like me - loves opshopping, and knows my passion for 'rescuing' old patterns. (Heard a story of them being used instead of newspaper to wrap breakables - the horror!) Using just the body and sleeve A pattern pieces, I lenghtened the front and back 20cm, curving up to the side seams, and extended the sleeve by 12cm plus cut a cuff 3cm finished width.
Shell buttons from Pete's Emporium.
