Last night I tried making another "Miho" shirt with a modification to the sleeves to make the finished product more clean looking. It's not really noticeably to anyone but me but I like it. 
Here is a practice one,  Julia stole it for now although I may end up adding it to my "for sale" pile as it is up to snuff.




I'm thinking the black would look good on a blonde too.
This pattern is very versatile in the way that it is loose fitting but looks good doing it. I know a lot of SD girls are bustier than mine and I'm sure they could fill this blouse nicely. Julia is fairly small and she can pull it off too. I am definitely keeping that in mind when I sew to sell. There is nothing more disappointing than buying something that doesn't fit.

When I am working on a project and brainstorming I always have a Pile. This Pile consists of fabrics that work well together or something I have purchased recently. It is nice to have a Pile nearby to draw inspiration from. If you stare at a fabric long enough you can really start to visualize the possibilities of the fabric. Sometimes a new purchase can work really well with an old scrap that you have forgotten about too, so make sure you dig out the old Stash every once and a while.
Here is my current Pile:



Hmm, yes.
