Sleeveless Asymmetric Panel Blouse

Fabric & Materials

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS: blouse fabrics made of natural or blended fibers. YOU WILL ALSO NEED: fusible interfacing; 1 button. IF THE PATTERNS HAVE A DOUBLE CONTOUR, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE INCLUDED. IF THE CONTOUR IS SINGLE, SEAM ALLOWANCES ARE NOT INCLUDED. SEAM ALLOWANCES: Hem allowance – 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 (don't forget to account for paired and symmetrical pieces). WHEN STITCHING PIECES, PAY ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES - THEY MUST MATCH! ATTENTION! Markings on the patterns are made on the right side.

Sewing Instructions

1. Reinforce pieces with fusible interfacing.

3. Serge the center back edges separately. Stitch the center back seam from the slit mark to the bottom, press allowances open.
4. Fold flounce pieces right sides together and stitch two straight long sides. Turn the flounce right side out and press. Place the flounce on the front and topstitch the short section between the marks. The allowance of the short section is directed towards the center.
5. Press the longitudinal placket allowances to the wrong side. Place the placket on the front and topstitch along the long sides, covering the flounce allowance. Secure the flounce and front allowances at the shoulder seams, armhole seams, and neckline. Press the flounce folds.
6. Stitch shoulder seams, press allowances towards the back and serge.
7. Stitch shoulder seams of neckline facings, press allowances open. Serge the outer edge. Place the facing on the right side of the garment and stitch the neckline. Clip allowances, trim corners, turn facings to the wrong side and press. Hand-stitch the facing to the shoulder seams.
8. Cut a bias strip 2.5 cm wide and 10 cm long for the loop. Fold the strip in half lengthwise right sides together and stitch 0.3 cm from the fold. Trim allowances close to the stitching, turn the strip right side out and straighten the loop. Adjust the loop length. Insert the loop between the back and the facing, hand-stitch.
9. Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the armhole length + 4 cm. Fold the bias binding in half lengthwise right side out and press. Place the binding with the armhole edge right sides together and stitch. Clip allowances. Fold the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold to the main piece. Press the seam.
