KS 3620 blouse - It's okay. It's a white shirt, so how bad can it be? I'm just not thrilled with it, even with the cool gray buttons that at least make it interesting enough to put on, but not so interesting that I get excited about wearing it.
BWOF 3/08 #108 blouse. Indefinable. It's okay comfortable but not fabulous. I love the fabric. I like the buttons I ended up using, but for some reason I just keep reaching past this one in the closet. I need to wear it a few more times to figure out why, and if I still don't get it, a friend will.
V 7903 Today's Fit blouse - I'm beginning to think I like the idea of blouses better than the reality. I make them, I fit them, I don't wear them. And I really liked the shirting I used on this one. So what's my deal here? Why do I like making shirts but not wearing them?
There were other wadders that never made it to the review stage - such as the Patrones blouse made from the leftovers of one of my Parisian cottons. This was before I realized just how small Patrones ran compared to BWOF. It's still in the 2/3 done phase, but may get finished one of these days and given to a thinner, less boob-ulous friend.
Wadders are a necessity, I guess. If we didn't occasionally turn out a project that made us flinch, what would be the motivation to try harder?
So, onward and upward to next year's successes and wadders - here's hoping there's more of the former.
Hoping everyone had a wonderful holiday, whichever one you choose to celebrate (or not). Mine was mostly quiet, which was what I was hoping for, though not as much sewing got done as I would have liked since I copied Christina and fell on Christmas Eve and strained my right wrist. But it's mending and the workroom is calling my name . . .

I'm sorry the Liberty of London dress made this list :(
Ouch, sorry about your wrist.
I was in NYC today and exercised phenomenal restraint. You'd be proud.
I'm sad that the BWOF 3/08 #108 blouse didn't work for you- I made it twice, and I love it, mostly for that cute little collar. I made mine from kind of stiffish fabric, though, and I wear it more as a jacket... maybe it works better that way than as a straight up blouse.
Ow! Sorry about your wrist. I hope you enjoyed the holiday anyway.
The Liberty dress is beautiful BTW. I'm sorry you can't enjoy it as much as you'd like. To me, this kind of project is worse than a wadder.
I agree wiht Cidell, sorry the Liberty of London dress made the list. I hope your wrist feels better soon, I enjoy all your garments.
