It features a unique color-block design, a shaped V-neckline integrated into the yoke, and functional patch pockets. This stylish and practical blouse is suitable for professional, healthcare, or service settings, as well as casual daily wear, especially when made from low-stretch knit fabrics in two coordinating colors.
A stylish and practical blouse featuring a unique color-block design, a shaped V-neckline, and functional patch pockets for a modern and comfortable fit.
This versatile blouse is perfect for a variety of settings where comfort meets professional style, including:
Silhouette: a comfortable, semi-fitted silhouette that gently follows the body's lines.
Neckline: a distinctive shaped V-neckline integrated into the color-block yoke.
Color Blocking: Features a contrasting color yoke across the shoulders and sleeves, paired with the main body color.
Sleeves: Short, set-in sleeves designed for ease of movement.
Pockets: Two practical patch pockets on the front, accented with a contrasting upper band for a cohesive look.
Hem: a straight bottom hem for a clean finish.
Intermediate. Involves precise color-block seaming, attaching facings, and constructing patch pockets with attention to detail.
For best results, choose low-stretch knit fabrics that offer comfort and good drape, in two coordinating colors:
If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, seam allowances are not included. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm; hem allowance for the garment bottom and sleeve – 2.0 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90cm to 150cm) 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! Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.
