Ulog- getting Momma off my back

So I got a contract to sew up some graduation gowns for a school who ran short on gowns because of the increase in the number of pupils graduating, they are kids of around 4-6 years. I am excited but also nervous because I haven't sewn a grad gown before. It's going to be a new experience for me, to prepare myself I got a sample, a graduation gown that looks exactly like what they needed and I studied it. Will be showing the procedures I undertook next week hopefully.
Well today's needleworkmonday is not about that. It's about a very simple dress you can make in less than 30 minutes and look pretty classy in OR in my case, have your Momma off your back.
She was all about me making her something to wear because according to her she has no clothes left to wear (rolling my eyes, yeah right) and after much words I quickly thought to make her something that won't take much of my time and leave us both happy, a win-win.
So I opted for this simple turtle neck blouse.

Here's how to make it easy and be on your way;

decide how free you would like the blouse to be either very free or a little fitted. I opted for a little fitted
measure your stomach region all round or your burst region all round which ever side is bigger
cut your material into two equal parts and fold them equally into two.
mark the mid point of both folded materials, remember both materials are big enough to pass your stomach or burst region whichever is bigger
at the top of the material make pleats or a little gathering using a machine, make sure the pleats or gather is wide enough to be the measurement of your shoulders.
do this for both materials at the top or shoulder region
using your tape measure the space 2" between both sides of your neck and measure it out on your pleated or gathered part of your material and mark it
using a chalk and a ruler draw a slanted line from the shoulder area down to 8" or so depending on how tight you like the arm space to be.
make a mark on the top region for the neck and cut it out
using a piece of the the material as bias or band cover up all the cut out and sewn edges on the neck and shoulders making it long enough that there are extras for tying
join both materials together placing both materials with the right side facing each other. You could add a zip to the if the blouse you made is fitted.
hurray! Your blouse is ready to be rocked to any occasion you deem fit 😀
