One of my favorite things to do when I take breaks during my workday or when I have down time is to look on pinterest and instagram. I’m always so inspired by SOMETHING that I see.

I took a screen shot when I saw this gorgeous woman wearing a super cute shirt lol

As normal I fell in LOVE and wanted one lol. That is normally how it happens. I love that God has given me a gift where I can pretty much make anything I see. I truly give Him all the praise.

I don’t know what I was looking at but I LOVE this black and white picture!

My accessories were minimal. I wore a sparkly statement necklace, bracelet and studs.

I paired my button down shirt with a pair of faux leather pants I picked up from

Forever21 early last fall.

For those of you who sew, here is a review:

Butterick 6097

Pattern Description: Fitted shirt has collar and peplum variations, princess seams, and front button band. A and B: pleated peplum. C: stitched hem on sleeves. A, B and C: collar band. B and D: pleats, continuous lap and button cuffs on sleeves. C and D: narrow hem and shaped hemline, wrong side shows. Purchased bias tape finishes armholes A and neckline D.

Pattern Sizing: 6-14 I made the 14

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, pretty much.

Were the instructions easy to follow? These instructions are very well written.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved that it was almost exact to my inspiration.

Fabric Used: Cotton Lycra Woven

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added four inches to the back peplum and added more volume by slashing and spreading it until I got the desired fullness. I shortened the front by 3 inches.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is a great pattern if you like this style. I don’t think I will make this one again for myself.

Conclusion: Great pattern. It went together very well.

I love this top A. It is classic with a twist. You can never go wrong with a classic crisp white button down. It is a stable. You look great.

Yes Mam. You did this. I love Sweeneestyle, and I love your twist on your style. The top is excellent as I always think of a white crisp tailored top with a collar as a wardrobe stable. Oh and your hair is on point as well. Great look friend. Keep inspiring us.

Wow!! You’re extremely talented!! I make (and sell) pillows and draperies, but can never follow a pattern well enough to make a piece right. I love this blouse!! And, your leather pants look so comfy! #blmgirls
