Fabric Recommendations

  • Blouse fabrics made from natural or blended fibers.

Additional Supplies

  • Fusible interfacing
  • 6 buttons

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns are without seam allowances. Seam allowances: Hem allowance for the bottom of the garment and sleeve – 2 cm; other seams – 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

  • From main fabric:
    • Back yoke - 1 piece
    • Back - 1 piece on fold
    • Front - 2 pieces
    • Front yoke - 2 pieces
    • Sleeve – 2 pieces
    • Placket – 4 pieces
  • From fusible interfacing:
    • Placket — 2 pieces
