Contributor Creations Local Color ChallengeThe “Brisbane Does Downton Blouse”
This is my second blouse from this pattern. Last week I made a VIP version in silk twill which is perfect for “professional” wear (not to mention that silk twill is closer to Downton Abbey than gingham!).

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.

This gorgeous fabric I picked up sometime ago on a trip to ikea, I had no idea at the time what I was going to use it for it just caught my eye so I handed over my dollars and tucked it away into my stash. 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.
