The Avid Seamstress – The Blouse

This pattern has got to be one of my favourite patterns ever and it was a pleasure to make this one in this beautiful floral rayon from The Fabric Guys! I have always wanted a handmade blouse in my wardrobe but been put off by the collar stands and difficult cuffs that come with the making. In my opinion this pattern is the perfect introduction to shirt making, the instructions are clear and easy to follow and there are lots of little hints and tips along the way to help you out.

I’ve made two versions now – for my first I loved the pattern image so much I used the exact same Atelier Brunette fabric. Pop over to my Instagram page to have a look at that one.

I found that the blouse came together really quickly once I got going and I enjoyed taking my time getting the top stitching on that button placket and collar stand as perfect as I could.

If you would like to read about this make in more detail please pop over and have a read of my blog over on The Fabric Guys website under the tutorials section here.

What’s your ‘go to’ blouse or shirt pattern? Now I’ve tried one I’m keen to try more…

Thank you so much for reading!
