PR is running a fitted blouse contest that I’m managing from 1 – 31 March.
“Contest Theme: Cut, sew, model and review a fitted blouse to showcase fitting skills.”

So while there are some key elements your blouse needs to meet to qualify for this contest, if you already have a fitted blouse pattern in your stash that needs tweaking, consider making it in March.
Here’s a link to the fitting workshop I attended last year to get this blouse fitted right.

As this contest runs from March 1 – 31, there’s more time to sew up your blouse than you would have had in February.

There are 5 weekends in March to get your fitted blouse made.

These are a few of my fitted blouses that I prepared earlier. Does that sound cheesy enough?

One of the contest criteria is to provide a photo with you wearing the blouse to showcase your fitting skills, so my pictures showing the blouse on a dressmakers dummy would not qualify. As a manager I don’t qualify either but I do enjoy helping others sewers share their knowledge and extend their skills.
