Crossover Blouse

Introducing a chic women's sewing pattern for a contemporary blouse featuring a wide neckline, a single short sleeve, and a unique crossover front design.

When To Wear

This versatile top is perfect for adding a touch of modern style to various occasions, making it an excellent choice for:

Everyday Casual: Comfortable yet stylish for daily errands or relaxed outings.
Smart-Casual Gatherings: Easily dressed up with accessories for lunches or informal events.
Seasonal Wear: Ideal for warmer spring and summer days, or for layering under cardigans and jackets.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Fitted through the bodice, gently shaping the figure before gracefully flaring to a unique crossover hem.

Neckline: a refined wide neckline.

Closure: a comfortable pullover style with no visible fastenings, relying on the clever multi-panel crossover front for both structure and ease.

Sleeves: A single short set-in sleeve that offers a relaxed yet neat finish.

Darts: Features bust darts on the front panels, ensuring a tailored and flattering fit that contours beautifully to the body.

Hem: a distinctive crossover front hem creates a modern, asymmetric silhouette, while the back hem provides a balanced finish.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Requires confident execution of darts, precise setting of sleeves, and careful attention to detail for the faced neckline and the unique multi-panel crossover front assembly.

Blouse fabrics made from natural or blended fibers

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: bottom edges of the blouse and sleeve – 1.5 cm, all 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 (do not forget to account for paired and symmetrical details).

From main fabric:
- Upper back - 1 piece
- Lower back – 1 piece
- Upper front – 1 piece
- Lower front – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Markings on patterns are made on the right side!

Stitch darts on the upper and lower front pieces, press the seam allowances upwards.
Stitch the shoulder seams of the inner pieces. Press seam allowances open. Cut (if not ready-made) a bias binding 4 cm wide and a length equal to the armhole length + 5 cm. Fold the bias binding in half lengthwise, right sides out, and press. Place the binding with the armhole edge right sides together and stitch. Clip the seam allowances. Turn the binding to the wrong side and topstitch along the fold onto the main piece. Press the seam. Stitch, overlock, and press the side seams towards the back.
Stitch the shoulder and side seams of the upper parts. Overlock seam allowances and press towards the back. Stitch the sleeve seam. Overlock seam allowance and press towards the back. Set in the sleeve. Overlock seam allowance.
Place the upper of the blouse onto the lower and stitch the neckline. Clip seam allowances at curves, turn the lower to the wrong side and press the neckline.
Overlock the bottom edges of the blouse and sleeve. Fold seam allowances inwards and topstitch. Secure the parts at the side seams by hand.
