Model

The little summer blouse that goes with everything, easy to sew and beautifully finished - this is it! The ALMOST sewing pattern takes inspiration from classic men’s shirts, with its cuffed sleeve hems, straight cut, and soft collar. But don’t be fooled: the volume, length, and shaping darts transform it into a truly charming blouse that will quickly become a staple in your handmade wardrobe. And if you’re after a more pared-back look, you can also sew a collarless version for a clean, modern finish.

Size: 34 to 52, for a height of 1m 65. The finished garment measurement chart is available in the product photos.

Sewing level: INTERMEDIATE. Key techniques covered are: attaching a flat collar, neatly finishing the neckline with facings and setting in the sleeves (made easier thanks to the 3-piece sleeve design), creating the sleeve cuff turn-ups and sewing bust darts.

Seam allowances are included and are 1cm.

Supplies

• Fabric with a 140 cm width

• Whether you’re sewing the version with or without the collar.

  • 34-44 : 100 cm

  • 46-50 : 120 cm

  • 52 : 140 cm

• 5 buttons approx. 10/12mm, such as Wink Glossy buttons, glitter buttons, mother-of-pearl buttons

Opt for soft, lightweight fabrics between 70 and 200 g/m² that press well with an iron - this will make finishing the collar and sleeve cuff turns up much easier. Poplin, crepe, voile, twill, lightweight denim or chambray all work beautifully, in fibres such as cotton, viscose, linen, Tencel™, or even silk.
