Notes I like this pattern and the fit was very good.

The Lekala instructions tell to cut the slit to the outer cuff and sew the outer cuff to the sleeve and then insert the inner cuff and cut that similarly… etc… I don’t understand why this was done in such a complicated way. Why to sew the cuffs into circles in the first place when you then have to make the slits? If you just rotate the cuffs in place so that the short edges of the cuffs coincide with the position of the slit the result is pretty much the same (the cuff shape is a truncated cone) except that the whole thing is much easier and faster to sew and there is much less room for errors. So this is what I did.

    Hi Katia, what a nice summer blouse - I love your fabric! I totally agree with you acc. the cuffs. There's no need cut into the cuffs - it's just a matter of where to place the side seems and you have perfect slits. Well done!
