I searched around and found this tutorial here - which made it sound so easy and manageable for a DIY newbie like me! I also liked how her end product looked like:
So I picked up some duchess satin fabric from Spotlight when they had a sale recently and got into the swing of making my first blouse. Let me tell you; it is probably easy for someone who has had some sewing basics but I had an incredibly hard time cutting my fabric and making sure it was not lopsided... and sewing a curved neckline definitely takes practice!
Almost 48 hours later and my top square top has taken shape! I'm sure someone proficient with the sewing machine would have taken much less time but considering this is a first for me I'm reasonably happy with the results!
Having said that, anyone knows where I can get sewing lessons?
