It’s been a long time since I was part of a blog tour, but I had to hop on this one because the two blouses that comprise the tour are exactly the kinds of tops I reach for to wear under cardigans in the winter and in the summer to wear alone.
I had previously purchased the Omega top because I loved the lines, the options, and the feminine details. Obviously I needed to make it, and this tour would give me a deadline. Ha!

And then the idea hit me–what if you put the tulip sleeve on the Omega? Yup, it works with a little tweaking.

The tulip sleeve is a bit wider than the armscye on the Omega, so when cutting, I trimmed about 1/2″ off the end that connects in the underarm. I also used my basting stitches to help ease the sleeve into the Omega armscye, so depending on the size you make you may have to make additional adjustments.
Other adjustments I made were to lower the waist point (my natural waist is lower than the pattern is drafted for), go up a size in the yoke width only (I have broad shoulders), and a swayback adjustment to get rid of the horizontal drag lines in the back.

For the next while I’ll be layering it under a jacket or cardigan, but when the sun comes out in full force you know I’ll be glad to slip on this light, airy blouse when I’m out and about.
