My first MAGAM is done. I finished the blouse yesterday. I am happy with how the blouse turned out but am not sure how it suits me. I am not a fan of the bow and will probably ditch it before I wear it. A fabric with better drape might have enhanced the blouse.
The class is a gem. First of all you can make multiple variations of the blouse. There is a second view with sleeves and peter pan collar. Imagine the variations - I can make the pictured blouse with collar and sleeves or I can make a sleeveless version sans pin tucks. You get the idea.
I made a size 6 at the bust and size 12 at the hips. This was the first time sewing buttons and button holes for me.The instructions were so clear on how to measure for buttons and button placements. I overcame my fear and think it turned out pretty good.
Lessons learnt:
Pintucks - the class gives very clear instructions on how to draw lines and fold to create tucks.
Pivots - It is amazing what a little measurement and drawing lines can help you achieve
Buttons and button holes - again measurement and marking helped
Hem - the class explains a tip where you adjust the needle position and use the pressure foot edge as a guide
Here are some construction snaps

I think this class is worth purchasing.
