I just fell in love with this sharp little blouse from 1957. Best of all, it was super easy and very quick to make. I don’t think it took more than 2 hours, and that includes cutting it out. There are no darts, and the only part I had to even think about was matching up the points at the top of the sleeves.
I used a great turquoise eyelash I bought last year. This came from an antique store in Rutherfordton, NC. When I was a kid my mom and her friends would drive down to Rutherfordton and nearby Spindale to visit all the wonderful fabric mill outlet stores. They would come home with bags full of the stuff, most of it made right there in the adjoining factories.
This fabric supposedly came from the Rutherfordton Tanner of North Carolina mill. It’s very crisp, and I think it looks great made up in this pattern.

‘Eyelash’ fabric is a new term to me as well, so thanks for adding to my woefully inadequate fabric vocabulary!
