I made this blouse with gathered cuffs and a button closure at the neck. Made my own neck binding. It went together easily and I wore it yesterday, am very happy with the result. I got my fabric online and it ended up being much more transparent than I anticipated, so I whipped up a cami to layer underneath. I'm envisioning wearing this in the garden to keep the sun off but still allow a breeze to reach my skin. I'm in the northern hemisphere and need the thought of spring to stay motivated this time of year! Thanks twig + tale! I hope to make an a-line dress version in the future as well.

Very happy with my new blouse. Took some time and handmade the button loop with embroidery thread. Will make a long sleeve version next with a brushed cotton for autumn

I left a review but forgot to add the photo. Here’s a duplicate review with photo. I'd made two baby versions (a top and a dress) of this pattern and decided to try making one for myself. I am always cold, so I decided to try making it in cotton flannel. It may not have the "drape" the typical fabrics have, but this pattern comes together nicely in flannel for a cool weather option. I love it. The instructions are clear and easy, and I'm looking forward to making more!

I am quite a beginner, but with a bit of patience, this top came out beautifully. I love it!

So easy to use, clear simple instructions a beginner could make this.
I love the shape, its versatility is endless, from a crisp cotton blouse to a soft sheer long sleeve elegant evening blouse, to a day dress, a beach cover or a night gown.
Its winter in the uk so i am making a soft Jersey with long sleeves in a tunic length.... Then i think i might need a pixie coat 😉

This is an excellent pattern. Very versatile and not hard to sew. The instructions are clear and easy to follow.
My Driftwood was made in vintage silk and I love it ❤️

I made a few adjustments as follows:
- I didn't want a tie or loop, so extended the neckband by 4cms to make it more open
- shortened the body by 4 - 5 cm
- extended the sleeve by 4 cm
Instructions were easy to follow - gathering the fabric into the neckband being the most cumbersome step. I divided the neckband & bodice into 16 sections to make it easier to get the gathers even throughout.
