Moon Phase Button Camas Blouse

August 11, 2019

I’ve been eyeing the Thread Theory Camas Blouse for such a long time! The pattern struck me as so comfy, but with some really nice design details. I finally ordered some super cheap fabric to make a wearable muslin, and am pretty happy with it!

I love the gathers on the front and back, and the yokes give such a good opportunity for scrapbusting (which I did not take advantage of for this version). As usual, the Thread Theory instructions and sewalong were very easy to follow. I followed the instructions to use two layers of interfacing on the placket, and it was way too much. For my next version, I’ll just use one.

I also didn’t bother with buttonholes, just sewing on these beautiful moon phase buttons from Arrow Mountain.

We met 40 years ago as tiny bebes in the park, and through the years we drifted apart several times but always found each other again at various dance recitals, school field trips, beach clubs, fabric stores, and summer jobs. The universe kept shoving us together til it stuck. This quilt is a hug from afar. I might not be able to get up to New Jersey frequently but this quilt will be there for cozy/comforting times as needed. 

I picked out my fabric, then used a quilt generator at savoreverystitch.com (the last slide), then imported it into Photoshop and colored over it (second to last slide), basically changing the whole thing, but it was an awesome starting place.
