Tech. Description

Paneled Three Quarter Sleeve Blouse

When To Wear

Untucked over trousers, jeans or a straight skirt, so the lower bands stay visible.
Spring, summer and early autumn as a top layer; three-quarter sleeves leave room for a bracelet or a watch.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, slightly relaxed body without darts, shaped by the curved front seams.

Length: Hip length, straight hem.

Neckline: Straight across the front, rounded at the back. The back continues over the shoulders and is joined to the top edge of the front, so there are no shoulder seams. Both edges are finished with a 4 cm bias binding folded in half and topstitched along the fold.

Front: A centre front piece cut on the fold with two side fronts joined by curved seams, pressed towards the centre and topstitched 0.7 cm from the seam. The lower front band is cut in two halves; the right half overlaps the left at the centre, leaving a split at the hem.

Pockets: Two horizontal off-set welts sit in the seam between the front and the lower band, each backed by an underlay piece; the welts are interfaced.

Sleeves: One-piece, three-quarter length, set into the open armhole; the sleeve seam is sewn together with the side seam.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, with a back band at the hem, topstitched 0.7 cm from the seam.

Finishing: Hem and sleeve hems turned twice by 1 cm and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Curved seams, welts with underlays set into the band seam, an overlapping split band and a bias-bound neckline that joins the back to the front.

Fabric Recommendations

Blouse fabrics made of natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Fusible interfacing (welts)
Bias binding 4 cm wide, or cut it from the main fabric (for the back neckline and the top edge of the front)

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 for the garment bottom and sleeve hem - 2.0 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. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!
