"interfacing is the stable party in this relationship!" Amen

[@krisheld4496]

I love everything you do. I love that you sew a garment from start to finish. I think that’s what I like the most about your channel. And I love that you put it on and wear and model it. And Your My Bucolic Life song by your daughter and parents is absolutely adorable

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you Kris!! I really appreciate that! Just me, being me 😁😊

[@alfa5243]

Nice tip on ironing on the interfacing and then cutting out the piece.

[@leahjacob3553]

Beautiful blouse. Pretty. It's always a joy to watch.

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you!

[@jgsawka]

What a pretty blouse! I actually liked the elastic on the sleeves. The fabric was prefect for this pattern. The buttons are cute too. I've got a number of vintage machines too. And a vintage button holer that I've yet to use on my Singer 301A. I know what you mean about taking these machines out to use them. So important so that they don't cease up. I have mine in rotation, so for each project a different one is used. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I learn something in every video!!

[@dee4174]

Great job. I agreed with your choice about the trim on the cuff. You look lovely as usual. Thank you for another great video.

[@joanneblair2087]

Amazing work as usual. I too like the step-by-step tutorial

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you so much 😀

[@normacooper6377]

It’s a very pretty blouse. I love the trim. Those buttons are fabulous, too. Thanks for sharing your project.

[@kathymiller8810]

Lovely ! I think that adding the contrast piping and those cute buttons really take the blouse “ up a notch”

[@barbaralewis6995]

I also use the walk away method. It is amazing how your mind clears and you know how to move forward. Blouse looks great!

[@mybucoliclife]

It really is!😂 Thank you!

[@tammyjanzen8533]

Pretty!!!!!!!!! I like the way you do buttonholes. Very helpful for me to watch. Thank You!

[@buslady6695]

Wow, love that vintage machine.

[@houseinnorthcarolina9439]

Marie, The blouse is so pretty. I love the way you handle issues and make changes "on the fly" as you put it. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Suzanne

[@kathyelliot9795]

Bravo. Super cute

[@joanneblair2087]

Love this blouse.

[@janehammond1322]

Thé piping certainly elevated your pretty blouse. I’ve never used piping so thankyou for showing us how it’s done.

[@lindahodges2236]

The blouse is beautiful. I must say that I loved the trim on the end cuffs of the sleeves but I do understand that we do have individual likings. I really love watching your videos and love how you deal with any problems or hacks you choose to do.

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you. Sometimes I don't know what I like better until I try it. 😂

[@michelewegman2173]

This blouse is so pretty! I enjoyed all your techniques and learned a lot watching this video!! Thank you!!

[@sandimichaels2324]

That turned out real pretty with the piping. Well Done.

[@hyacinth4368]

I love to make piping! Lol!

[@carolbarbee5653]

Cute top I love the fabric😍

[@mercedesdelcastillo8324]

Perfect pattern to cleanse your palate from the previous skirt made. Love the way it turned out with the trim. Thanks again.

[@lynetteshorten6043]

Great innovations...I would have kept the green on the sleeve hem but then thats me.

[@devonswink9627]

The blouse turned out beautiful! As light as the fabric is I think the shorter sleeves are great! I watched this very closely because I have a blouse coming up in a similar fabric and wanted ideas for handling it before I got started! As always great video! Thanks!!!

[@devonswink9627]

I’m sure it looks wonderful without the elastic! I got my hole punch in Saturday and my heat erasable pens will be here tomorrow! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you! Actually, now that I've worn it a while, I'm thinking a little shorter sleeved would be nice because of the fullness. Thank you so much for watching and have fun with the pens and hole punch 😁

[@marydiamond3322]

I love the blouse but even more I love your machine. I have a 1948 singer and struggle making my buttonholes even, so I shy away from them. I like your way of measuring. Thanks

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you! Do you have a buttonholer like mine for your machine? They make such nice buttonholes. I'm glad it was helpful!

[@marydiamond3322]

Thank you for you reply. I have exactly the same one. I need to mark the button holes when I’m ready to make them rather than when I’m doing all the other markings. I’ll start with maybe 2!!

[@brendajefferson5984]

Hello, Marie. Nice blouse and the neckline is lovely. The piping really elevated this pattern. That little narrow foot is awesome! Thank you for sharing this “make”. I moved on from the last debacle and now I’m ready to move on😊

[@mybucoliclife]

I'm so glad you are ready to sew again 😊

[@brendajefferson5984]

My method for applying interfacing is to apply interfacing to the fabric before cutting the pattern piece. This method helps plenty to avoid the movement of both fabrics. Oh Yeah got my leather punch and erasable pins. Thanks for introducing both of these, new to me, amazing notions 👍❤️

[@debbiestuttgen1825]

Marie, I really love your videos and learn so much cause you tell us your thought process. BTW, I have one of those all the bells and whistles machine and embroidery unit and I do love it. It sews through everything plus a Juki straight stitch machine...

[@lindafudge57]

Love it. Your amazing

[@zibergirl2]

What a good idea to put the piping on the stable facings instead of on the garment! I like your process of deciding the sleeves were too clown like and changing them more to your liking. Loved seeing those specialty feet as well. It turned out very pretty!

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you Barbara! I have a large collection of "mystery feet" and I really have no idea if I'm using them for their intended purpose, but I like playing with them 😂

[@marathorne6821]

Yes, it's very cute! 😍 You have more patience than I do, that fabric would have driven me crazy, not to mention the chiffon... 🤪 Definitely worth putting in the trim, though, it really lifts the whole look of the blouse. Lovely job!

[@mybucoliclife]

Thank you Mara!! 😁

[@Suzeequ]

Thank you for this! The blouse turned out so cute.

[@tamaradensmore6216]

Turned out very pretty!❤️

[@jeannestark2434]

Very pretty❤

[@deidrabenson361]

Cute blouse!❤️❤️❤️

[@cindypeterson1629]

Hi Marie I think your top turned out beautiful I think I’m going to get that pattern and give it a try

[@aleciacope3503]

Pretty make, Marie! I like how the green trim frames your face. I enjoyed witnessing your creative process with the end of your sleeves. I smiled when I read you removed the elastic 😉

[@mybucoliclife]

My quite random creative process on full display 😂😂😁

[@kennethiacgilliam]

Love your blouse!

[@Bjm521]

I love everything you do! If you are looking for a video idea for the future I would love ❤️ to see your process for making a mens suit jacket.

[@Bjm521]

I am wanting to try my hand at one for my husband and I know you would have the best tips and tricks!

[@mybucoliclife]

Hello Beth!! Thank you :) I might try a more casual sport coat type sometime :)

[@mybucoliclife]

The flannel shirt that I've just finished is also a good men's pattern. Thank you so much for all your kind words!!

[@Bjm521]

@@mybucoliclife would love to see a sport coat possibly! Thanks for all you do. Teaching others a dying art especially the way you do is invaluable and fabulous! 💕

[@Bjm521]

@@mybucoliclife I need a flannel shirt for myself as more like a topper or over shirt so this will be perfect! I already have the fabric washed and ready. I can’t wait to see y’all your tips and tricks. Would love to be able to support you through a ko-fi account or Patreon etc! Lots of love!

[@Iamgone1961]

I was wondering when you’d be putting up your next video, and abracadabra here you are 😁😁😁🌺🌺🌺 ps tree dress came out fab 😉😂😂

[@mybucoliclife]

Yay, Love trees :) Thanks for checking on me :)

[@faithmathingsdal79]

Firstly, fabulous as always! Such a sweet blouse and has serious 'sexy milkmaid' vibes. Second, that deep blue you were wearing on day one (I think) suits you soooo beautifully. Thirdly, I have some crinkle rayon that I keep avoiding, but I feel encouraged that it can be done! Thank you for sharing!!! x

[@mybucoliclife]

Don't me afraid of the crinkle rayon 😁 sexy milk maid is a vibe! Thakes my back to the thousands of times I sat on my stool with my head on the side of a beloved cow milking into the steel buckets. I can still hear the sound of the milk hitting the sides of the pail, and the cow chewing her snacks 😊🥰

[@sew_So_beautiful]

I have one of those lovely little Singer Featherweight machines. My mom used it for small jobs all the time. I inherited it after she passed away and the second time I used it, it blew up. Would I be able to replace the wiring in it do you think? I repair and clean all the other vintage sewing machines my husband brings me from farm auctions, but so far I have drawn the line at wiring. But I'm willing to learn.

[@mybucoliclife]

You never know until you try. There's a lot of good KZbin channels that go in detail about rewiring moters. Just take your time and get a nice soldering iron 😊

[@debbiestuttgen1825]

I only got part way through my comment when I accidentally entered it...what I wanted to say is that I found on Etsy a new attachment buttonholer that I'm hoping will work as well as yours. Thank you for that info.

[@mybucoliclife]

Hope it works for you!!

[@marymary5494]

👌💕

[@nancygyles9123]

I enjoyed this video, and am considering purchasing this pattern. Also am the market for a new steam iron, and wonder which one you are using. Looks like it gives lots of steam, and my old classic Black and Decker is very stingy with steam, and has not steam button. Thank you.

[@mybucoliclife]

I just bought a new iron, a heavy gravity fed one. But the Rowenta gave me good service for many years. Lots of options out there.

[@SamL5-12e]

I guess I missed it when you gave the name of the fabric, what kind of fabric did you use? By the way I love your videos🙏🏻

[@mybucoliclife]

Hi Sharon! I believe that is a printed cotton gauze. quite wrinkly and thin but very comfy :) Thanks for watching!

[@brendastevens8325]

Super cute
