Tuesday Project Roundup: If I Make Spring Clothes, Will It Be Spring? Edition

Here is the first project of the year, a light blue smock-like blouse. (Yes, the SLB reappears; I think I'll rock the materninty look again for spring and summer.)
I'm happy with it, and especially proud that I added the collar myself--drafted a pattern for it from instructions online, and engineered it into the body on my own.

It's less maternity-looking when it's on, because the armholes and bodice in the pattern I used (Simplicity 3778) actually fit very well. I just couldn't get a decent modeled picture because it was so dark in the house last night. I guess it's not really spring at all.

Karen, it's clear you've gone mad with crafty power.

Mortals were not meant to draft their own collar patterns (with or without online instructions!); you tempt the wrath of the gods.
