Strawberry fields!

Well, in this case strawberry blouses!  I moved away from Peony to start with something nice and simple and chose to make the Sencha blouse...

This was a lovely pattern to use, even for a complete newbie like me and the (almost) finished blouse is beautiful.  I chose a white cotton with a simple strawberry print and it is sooo cute!  Just need to add some strawberry buttons and popper snaps at the back and it will be ready to wear!  I was quite impressed with myself - the next pattern I am going to attempt is Ginger so wish me luck!  I am also considering participating in Tilly's Picnic Blanket skirt sewalong thing, so watch this space....

I will post some piccies once the blouse is finished, but it is delightfully summery!  Can anyone recommend any other patterns suitable for a newbie? I want to get sewing!
