I’ve never made this pattern. Shock, horror, I know, but I’ve only been sewing for myself for just over a year, and it takes time and money to build up a pattern stash and fabric stash. After watching this video however, this is definitely one to add to my wish list, because the ones you have made are just gorgeous.

OMG! YES, the Rhapsody blouse seems to be everywhere on YT! Same with the Donny top (Friday Pattern Co). Thank you so much for showing your Rhapsody top makes from different fabrics. I agree that the cotton lawn doesn't drape as well as the knits, but still a VERY beautiful top. LOVE your choices of fabrics!!! They are all so very beautiful!!! You can pick out fabric for me any time!!!!!!! The bias binding method for the hem is very interesting. I'll have to give that try at some point. Great makes and pattern review! Will have to get this pattern. 🥰 I used to sew garments a very loooo-ooong time ago. When I started sewing again during the pandemic, it was quilt sewing. Found Vivmom and other YT garment sewists, so I decided to start garment sewing again last year. Have been watching a lot of garment sewists' YT channels to get up to date on patterns, sewing methods, fabrics, pattern hacks (FBA's), etc. before investing in a lot of knit fabrics. Made 5 dresses from my quilting cotton stash for Project Dress A Girl last September and had a ball! Now in the process of downsizing and getting ready for a retirement move (to Florida), so sewing isn't something I have the time for right now. However, I can live vicariously through all the YT sewists for now and enjoy seeing your beautiful creations. 😊

Awww you’re so sweet - thank you! I started garment sewing when my son was born in 1993 and did it for a few years but then stopped sewing completely until about 2010 when I discovered quilting and fell in love with sewing all over again. I only started making garments again right before the pandemic and I’m completely hooked! I love that garments are such quick makes. A quilt can take months to finish, but you can get a brand new t-shirt in just a couple of hours. 😂

Will make quilt squares from time to time to make a quilt or two during the year, either to keep for for charity. I've got a lot of quilt squares ready to sew together into a quilt top, but that project will just have to wait a while longer.

I have Rhapsody makes in my closet. First was double gauze that I did a thread chain and purl button closure instead of ties and gathered along the back yoke instead of doing the pleat. Then a crinkle cotton that I did bishop sleeves but with wide elastic cuffs and I added a piece of lace into the front yoke. Then a cotton sateen dress version but I didn't do the gathered skirt, instead I just lengthened the pieces to my knees and kept the shirt hem. I also eliminated the keyhole and put a faux covered button placket down the front. Then I did a simple cotton viscose version exactly as per the pattern. I love them all. I find the ballad blouse has the same fit features as the Rhapsody so I am making a couple of those too.

Using lace at the yoke sounds like such a good idea. I totally should try that! The pearl button closure also sounds really nice. I have the Ballad blouse pattern.
