Plaid with two-tiered sleeve flares

The key point of this blouse is the flare of the two-tiered sleeves. Very challenging. But cute, huh? I got the fabric from my mom, who is a tremendous streamstress and I love it when I can make something for free. The olive green part is actually another shirt from Old Navy underneath because the v-neck is quite deep.

I got the pattern from another Japanese book that I can't find on amazon.jp. I'll take photos and post it later! The buttons were added to hide the botch-up job I did with the v-neck section...the result is a preppy-ish blouse with girly sleeves.

I tell ya, I'm lovin' this sewing thing. This desire to create comes from my Mama, I'm sure. She just made a hundred dresses for Kumi. Yes, a hundred. I'll make sure to feature them too!
