A Little Embelishment

 I have had a couple of projects rattling around in my head for a while and finally got my table cleared off long enough to tackle them.  Actually, I made it a GOAL.  This is the first project, an embellished  blouse.  I purchased the green blouse at VOA for a song.  Well not really a song.  They would have asked me to leave if I started  singing.  The armholes kind of "gaped" so I added darts to tuck them in, then I embellished it by cutting [gasp!] the corners off one of my hankies, gathering the pieces a bit and stitching them to the neck.  Then I used a variegated embroidery floss to do a blanket stitch around the neck and armholes.  Hand stitching is NOT one of my talents.

I decided my uneven stitching didn't really matter since I was going for an Anthropology or Free People look.  I'm not sure what I ended up with...  Old People??  Grammy Grunge??  Har! Har! Har!
Stay tuned, next up is a skirt I'm working on....
