Sewing instructions for blouse Bea

10 juin 2024

Level : for beginners

Bea was sewn from a thin cotton print in this tutorial.

Materials needed:

We recommend a flowing fabric such as silk , viscose , or polyester chiffon.

Sizes 34-38 : Outer fabric 1.60m (140cm wide)

Sizes 40-44 : Outer fabric 1.70m (140cm wide)

Sizes 46-50 : Outer fabric 1.80m (140cm wide)

Cut:

Seam allowances are included - 1cm wide or as indicated by the marking notches!

Cut out the pattern pieces from your outer fabric. Place the fabric right side up. Align the selvedges parallel to the center so you can lay out the back piece, collar stand, undercollar, and upper collar on the fold. All pattern pieces should be laid with the printed side facing up. Always align the grainline arrow in the same direction on all pieces, parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. Transfer all notches from the pattern by making a 3mm snip with scissors or using chalk. Snip the seam allowance on the fold, as this is always the center point.

You will need the following fabric:

1x front/back piece on the fold
1x Band Neck Hole
2x Band Armhole

First, sew the side seams together, right sides facing. Finish the seam allowances together and press them towards the front.

Now it's time to plug the holes ;-)

You have a total of 3 strips for the armholes and the neckline. Sew them together along the short sides, right sides facing.

Next, iron the seam allowance in one direction, then iron the strips (or now circles) in half lengthwise. The fabric is now doubled and the strips are only 2cm wide.
