I had to honour Le Grand Depart being in Yorkshire

Tour de France 022

and Le Zig-Zag was created during that weekend! (Yellow is not my colour!!)

The fabric is a stretch lace from White Tree Fabrics.

I used the pattern from The Mantilla Blouse– Lekala 5688

It was quite slippy to cut but was fine to sew. I used lots of long pins as they kept falling out! I used a very slight zig-zag stitch once again. I used bias binding on the neck and sleeves. I hand stitched it down neatly.

I really did not think my sewing through and cut the front and back separately and so the top sleeve seam was a disaster…

I could have cut it on the fold!! I overcame the problem by hand stitching black ribbon along the seam and it looks ok. I think!!

Fabric: 1.5m of misoni striped lace from White Tree Fabrics
