Frida Blouse

 This fabric was a present from Ana, my friend's mum. She is a retiring professional home sewist, who wanted to get rid of her small stash. I got some wonderful pieces from her… Some of them have gone to the Primary school where I work. They are lovely for theatre or other performances and presentations. Quite a bunch of them were great for making chick clothes and this is the first one I made. 

This is an old pattern from Burda. I got inspired last Carnaval season, when I thought about becoming Frida Kahlo. Finally, I decided to go as Banksy, but I already had made the blouse by then, so it became known as the Frida blouse.
