You have sewn a beautiful classic white blouse and the lyocell sounds like it would be lovely to wear. I think some of the older patterns are real treasures. How lucky you were to experience the total eclipse especially with your daughter.

So many lucky finds! First the pattern then the lyocell fabric! The blouse is very flattering on you, I like the collar a lot!
What a big event the solar eclipse was! And how dark it got. Marvin is in NC at the moment and sent me photos, but it wasn't nearly as dark there!

It's very beautiful! I can't believe that pattern is vintage. I thought it's a new collection. You are so talented!

Perfect white top.. So cute with the shorts, and so cute with the skirt.. Great find at that thrift store.
How wonderful that the ladies started the "hands up" idea.. Love to hear those kind of stories. Thanks for sharing.

As an absolute lover of all things vintage, I think your new blouse is perfection. The collar is lovely as is the fit. It's nice to see it dressed up and down too. I am rather partial to tencel and its variations so can appreciate this fabric. Your eclipse experience looks epic. Great post Lisa.

Beautiful top - not at all "dated". It's the sort of top you'll probably wear out! I always forget about white but when I put on a white blouse I remember how much I love it's crispness and coolness too on a hot summer day. I was on a blouse making mission for months which seems to have abated for a while anyway :) I found 2 Burda patterns recently in our local thrift shop for $1.50 each - unopened and just my style. I was astounded but 10 cents really does take the prize :)

Your new blouse is the farthest thing from "dated!" It's a beautiful style on you and I'm sure you'll be wearing it a lot. (You look good in wood pulp. ;o)) Love the cap sleeves on you. I've seen Tencel clothing advertised in all the ready to wear catalogs and it seems very expensive.

Your blouse has got lovely details and is spot on. Never can have enough white blouses. I love reading your stories behind your makes! Tencel or Lyocel is seen more and more in RTW here. I haven't worn it yet but your definition sounds like one of a perfect fabric. The eclipse moment is surreal and a little frightening, no?

I agree, this is a totally classic blouse, and you will wear it a lot. Lyocell, Tencel, Rayon - all made from cellulose - either wood pulp, and sometimes recycled cotton. It's a very cool fabric to wear as it absorbs a lot of moisture. Just not as hard wearing as cotton, and much more slippery to sew. The eclipse is amazing - looks quite spooky.
