Contributor Creations Local Color ChallengeThe “Brisbane Does Downton Blouse”
This is my second blouse from this pattern.

Brisbane is a pretty laid-back place, it moves at the pace you’d expect from a city in a climate of near-perpetual summertime.

When I read about this ‘city challenge’ this fabric and Melbourne’s Yarra River came to mind. It’s somewhat literal but I know you lovely ladies won’t mind.
