Knit Blouse With Collar Stand Chiffon Sleeves

A women's hip-length pullover blouse in knit fabric with a folded stand collar and short flared chiffon sleeves pleated into the armhole and finished with a knit facing band.

When To Wear

In spring and summer with trousers or a straight skirt.
At the office with a pencil skirt, the stand collar closing the neckline.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight body with no darts; front and back are each cut in one piece on the fold.

Length: Hip length.

Collar: Stand collar cut as one band, joined into a ring, folded in half lengthwise and shaped into an arc with the iron before it is attached; its seam sits at the left shoulder seam.

Sleeves: Short set-in sleeves cut from chiffon, flaring towards the lower edge; small pleats are laid at the top of the sleeve near the marks. The lower edge is finished with a facing band of the main knit fabric, turned to the right side and topstitched.

Closure: None; the blouse pulls on over the head.

Finishing: Hem serged, turned to the wrong side and topstitched; knit seams sewn with a stretch or narrow zigzag stitch or on an overlocker.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Two different fabrics in one garment, a chiffon sleeve set into a knit armhole, pleats at the sleeve top and a shaped folded collar band.

Fabric Recommendations

Body, collar and sleeve facings: knit fabric with medium stretch, from natural or blended fibres. Sleeves: chiffon.

Additional Supplies

Twin needle or a coverstitch machine for the hem

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: Hem allowance – 2.0 cm, all other seams - 1.0 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. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Front – 1 piece on fold
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Collar stand – 1 piece
- Sleeve facing – 2 pieces
From chiffon:
- Sleeve – 2 pieces

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker. Before doing this, trim allowances to 0.7 cm.

Sewing Instructions

Stitch shoulder and side seams of back and front, press allowances towards the back and serge.
Fold the collar stand in half lengthwise, right side out, and using steam-ironing, give it an arched shape, pressing the fold. Ensure that the neckline attachment edge does not stretch.
Stitch the collar stand into a loop, press allowances open. Fold the collar stand in half lengthwise, right side out, and attach to the neckline (collar stand seam matches the left shoulder seam), press allowances and serge.
Stitch the sleeve seam, press allowances towards the back and serge. Along the upper edge of the sleeve, closer to the marks, create and secure small pleats. Set the sleeve into the armhole, press allowances and serge.
Stitch the sleeve facing into a loop, press allowances open. Attach the facing to the sleeve, folding it right side to the wrong side of the sleeve. Press allowances, fold the facing to the right side. Fold the raw edge of the facing inwards and topstitch onto the sleeve.
Serge the bottom edge of the garment, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
