Here she is ... S2566 blouse done!

Well, except for handsewing the shank buttons on ... but given how the cuffs sit they won't show in a regular Mathilda the dressform pic.  It could probaly benefit from another press, but I will be adding new wrinkles as I put the buttons on in all likelihood.

Except for the goofy dart "sidecars" I am quite happy.  I won't model it myself until after the vest is done because of the dart shaping issue (and a good dose of vanity) so Mathilda will have to do for the next 3-5 days.
Now, here's a gem for my "Thank you, Sgt Obvious!" file.  Irons heat up so much faster when they are plugged in.  I wouldn't lie to y'all  LOL

As I expected, putting the buttonholes in was a pain in the (*donkey*) due to how close-fitting the cuffs are.  I also discovered the fabric can catch the little lever-thingy on my 1-step buttonhole and make it change directions before it ought to.

The instructions called for slip stitching the hem ... errr ... that's hand sewing, right?  Something I don't care for, and don't have the patience to do.  Props to those who do, but that isn't me.  Especially with a deadline for this outfit.  There's no getting around the handsewing of shank buttons, but I'll skip on the handsewn hem idea.
