Shirred Blouse

A women's off-the-shoulder blouse with long, full sleeves. The upper edge and the sleeve ends are shirred with elastic thread, so the blouse pulls on with no fastening.

Waist: The drawing shows rows of shirring at the lower body above a short frill.

Finishing: Seams overlocked; 2 cm hem turned and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Two pattern pieces, straight seams and shirring with elastic thread.

Fabric Recommendations

Additional Supplies

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 cm, top edge of back-front and sleeve – 3 cm, sleeve hem – 4 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).

  • From main fabric:
    • Sleeve - 2 pieces
    • Back-front – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

  1. Attach sleeves at armholes to back-front. Overlock seam and press towards sleeve.
  2. Stitch side seams of blouse, simultaneously stitching sleeve seams. Overlock seams and press towards back.
  3. Overlock bottom edge of blouse, fold up and topstitch.
  4. Overlock bottom edge of sleeve and top edge of blouse, fold to wrong side. Stitch with elastic thread.
