Fun blouses from Theresa LaQuey

I am lucky to have friends and family members who make me gifts!  And you know, that I like to give gifts that I have made.

I want to share with you three blouses my sister Theresa has made for me.  The nice thing about getting something from Theresa ... well there are several nice things, one being how well she makes things.  But what I was going to say, is her stuff doesn't go out of style, since everything she does is deco style ... timeless. I will wear these blouses for years.

The blouse above, I got for my birthday a few years ago the week my son got married. That was a very special week. One I won't forget.

This is my dress form blouse.  I love to wear this when I give talks to sewing groups.

But my favorite one is the next one.

The thing about this one is, when I wear it I have to be prepared for people standing very close and reading me.

This is the funniest fabric. Take a closer look.

Also, all three blouses have a cool double flap breast pocket which is kind of Theresa's signature.

As I said ... these are fun blouses.

Thanks for the post Andrea! I am so glad you like these. They are all from a late nineteen thirties Simplicity pattern that I reworked the fit on. The fabric for the two sewing themed blouses came from Stone Mountain and Daughter Fabrics in Berkeley California, and the one with the captions is actually all artwork from 1930s Simplicity patterns.
The floral fabric was some left over fabric from a set of hand bags I designed for Simplicity that looked like they were made of vintage aprons. Thanks for sharing these Amdrea!

the last fabric makes me think of the A Dress A Day blog, where she often takes the image from the front of a vintage pattern, and makes up the conversation between the different models. :)
