Lekala 4646 - Easy Breezy Simpilicity

What drew me to this blouse was the sleeve.  I thought the sleeve was unique and I thought about how cool I would be on a hot summer day wearing this blouse.  These days I want to spend my time sewing - not fitting. I also want to turn out a garment rather quickly.  This 3 piece pattern fit the bill perfectly. For the first version I purchased fabric specifically for this pattern.  My problem was the pattern calls for a low stretch knit and I mistakenly bought a super stretchy knit.  After making it I was not pleased with the results although it is wearable. First Version - Wrong Knit Fabric For the second version I used a  cotton fabric.  I felt much better about this one but still was not totally pleased until I wore it. Second Version How I Did It Since I did 2 versions I will focus on what I did for the second one since I was more pleased with it. I used a very thin cotton print that was in my stash - it was give to me.  I did not want to use "good" fabric
