I WAS going to keep this one for myself, but having recently made 3 new peasant shirts with another one that will be made up, I just couldn't justify keeping it...
...so if anyone wants it, I have it up in the shop!
Watch for a couple more that I'll be listing this week. I have had some stashed fabric that didn't quite look like apron fabric, so I'll be making them up in peasant shirts.
Kristin's sleeves actually were long...at the trim they flared out and came all the way to her wrists. I just realized that you couldn't see that in the pics. The way you made it looks nice too and it may be more practical. :)
Oh okay! =) Actually, the flounce is longer than what it looks, but since I used "tall" lace, it appears shorter. The top of the lace is where the flounce starts.
I had a hard time with that part at first. I had cut them 9the flounces) out the way I do the circular flounces on my skirts, but it was WAY to much fabric, and looked awful. So I made it with a curve, and it seemed to work, although I still want to play around with it. =)
Cheri, could you be persuaded to post a tutorial on how to make a peasant blouse without a store-bought pattern? I found one for a child's peasant shirt, but just am not having success with making one for myself with those directions.
Well Ana Marie, I could attempt to try, but I actually wouldn't know how to make one without a pattern. =P
Would you like my pattern? I could send it to you, if you'd like! Simplicity printed a few years ago (not sure of the number since a friend has the pattern...) and right now they have a pajama pattern out with the top part looking like a peasant blouse.
So there are a few options... =) Good to hear from you, by the way!
Thanks for your kind offer, Cheri! I shall be thinking of solutions to my "predicament" and let you know if in fact yours works best :-). Perhaps this is a good time for some creativity!

Lovely, Cheri! What a feminine and flattering design -- the lace detail is just perfect!
Yours in Christ,

Oh...I have a sort of feeling that I know where the idea for that came from. :) Cute!
Thanks girls!
Yes Rachel, the inspiration came from what you were thinkin'. =) I'd like to try it again using the fabric that I have for myself.
