#MeMadeMay2023 Today I am stepping out. Vivian Shao Chen’s Nepheline blouse(max chest 48, hip 50), but design can work for larger waist and hips. Pants are Closet Core’s Mitchell pants, which I have made 3 pairs. They are comfortable and have optional adjustable waist. Both in linen which is my favorite fabric to sew and wear. #closetcoremitchell #nephelineblouse

Just finished this sweet blouse in lightweight linen. The Nepheline Blouse pattern is by Vivian Shao Chen, and has B and D cup size ranges with maximum bust of 60, waist 50, and hips 62. I made size 9 with no modifications, which is largest of B cup range. I love the ruffle and the pleats on sleeve. First time making this pattern. First time with this designer. Not all their patterns are size inclusive. Also, great construction but, fair warning the seam allowance could be challenging for beginners or fabrics that ravel easily. The sleeves are very generous, which is perfect for my large biceps. My measurements are 48 bust, 48 waist, and 58 hips. Absolutely love it and will make more! #sewover50plus #pfsewyourstash #nephelineblouse #vivianshaochenpatterns
