I have just finished my third hand dyed silk version of this blouse...
I love the pattern - both fit and style - and it is so easy to put together.
Not a very good photo unfortunately. Both of these blouses were eco-dyed using rose leaves and other foliage - scraps given to me by my local florist!
The blouse at the back is a cowl top based on a free pattern by Hot Patterns , the only modification was the omission of the ribbed band at the waist/hip line. This blouse is a gift for my neighbour's 40th birthday.
The Simplicity blouse is for me.
I'm sure your neighbor will love the handmade gift for you. That's a beautiful idea and a fantastic work!
