Tech. Description

Pullover V-Neck Blouse

When To Wear

Summer, with trousers, shorts or a straight skirt.
Tucked into a skirt or worn loose for office and town wear.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Loose and straight; front and back each cut in one piece on the fold.

Neckline: Round neck with a short slit at centre front, bordered by two V-shaped plackets, each made of two layers stitched round and turned. The placket ends are stitched together through the front at the lower point.

Closure: None; pulls over the head.

Sleeves: Short sleeves cut in one with the front and back, finished with a folded band cuff stitched to the sleeve edge.

Back: Plain back, neckline finished with an interfaced back neck facing; the front is caught between the back and the facing at the shoulder seams.

Finishing: Hem overlocked, turned and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Two main pieces and straight seams; the only exact step is clipping into the corners and joining the placket ends at the V point.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (plackets, cuffs, back neck facing)

Cutter's Must

Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm. Hem allowance – 1.5 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!

Overlap the right placket over the left. Stitch the ends of the plackets, folding back the front and securing the bottom edge. Overlock seam allowances.
Overlock the outer edge of the back neckline facing. Place the neckline facing on the back and stitch the neckline edge precisely up to the marked shoulder seam line. Clip seam allowances, turn the facing to the wrong side and press.
Stitch shoulder seams, inserting the front between the back and the facing, press seam allowances towards the back and overlock.
Stitch side seams, press seam allowances towards the back, overlock.
Stitch the cuff into a loop, press seam allowances open. Fold the cuff in half lengthwise right side out and press. Stitch the outer layer of the cuff to the sleeve edge (armhole), fold under the seam allowance of the inner layer and stitch in the ditch of the cuff seam from the right side.
