Pattern Review: Figgy’s Ayashe

If you are looking for a feminine blouse pattern that is fun yet sophisticated for your little one, then look no further.  I can’t tell you how much I love this!  It’s unlike any top I have sewn.  The design is superb and very ‘not handmade’ looking  :) 

The fabric I used is Anna Maria Horner’s Loulouthi Clippings in Forest voile.  It is heaven!  Soft and breezy, and color so vibrant!  I didn’t quite use the whole yard, so I’m hoping I can make a little something with the left-overs.    This is my first attempt using voile and I love it… it’s a bit pricey so I think I will stick to smaller projects like this one. 


I think the mandarin-esqe collar is one of my favorite features.  The construction is geared toward an experienced sewist so make sure you’ve got your thinking cap on  :)
