Yes, I still sew, Sometimes I even write about it.

Rebecca Taylor's Vogue 1412

Front V1412
Front Pleat detail V1412
(The lamp light contrast helps show the pleat detail better.)

One might think I do not sew, or write any more and maybe they would be correct. The last thing I sewed was a muslin tunic blouse. I sewed Rebecca Taylor's Vogue Pattern V1412. It fit nicely with just a few minor alterations. But then it is a loosely styled tunic. 

I had a couple of pieces of stash fabric picked out for the top, but never committed to cutting them. The fabrics I picked are slightly transparent and will require a camisole. After giving it some thought, the front has buttons, but is really a pleat. I am worried the extra fabric at the front might not be as suited for this pattern as I had hoped. It will be a comfortable top but it needs a less transparent fabric than my original choice.
