I'm starting with New Look 6407, which is a button-down blouse with darts, and sleeve variations. I'm using a poly/cotton fabric in a light blue and yesterday during my lunch break cut out the pattern, which was a time saver and when I got home was able to cut & mark the fabric. I am trying to create French Cuffs using the sleeve bands and I've cut the sleeve band for the size 22, which should be sufficient for the french cuff to fold over itself and lengthen the sleeve by 3". Crossing fingers that it works out the way I envision it.
I like the ruffle on blouse E and will do long sleeves, and again using the sleeve band to mimic french cuffs and do the peter pan collar. Also this will be my first time doing ruffles. Any tips would be helpful. 
This season I am seeing a lot of blouses with pintuck detailing and thinking this blouse would be perfect. Again, any suggestions would be helpful.

I like the style of this pullover blouse and like the look of it with a vest.
I still need to narrow down my fabrics for the rest of the patterns. This is so exciting and looking forward to the other participants lovely creations.
Nice lineup. I'm keeping a running list of pattern numbers of the ones that I like and don't have that I see you all post about. I love the New Look pattern that you chose. My problem is with collars with bands - we don't get along very well and I really do need to practice on a couple.
