Learn to Sew a gorgeous blouse workshop
Skill Level - Intermediate Dressmaker ( You can sew simple dressmaking projects without difficulty, you can follow a sewing pattern unaided, you are looking to start using trickier fabrics such as rayon/viscose)
Update your me-made wardrobe with a gorgeous button front blouse. Learn all the techniques involved in making this versatile staple.
Choose between these two classic styles:
PDF Chalk & Notch Wren Blouse - This is a round neck, button-front blouse with two statement sleeve options. A short sleeve with a puff cap and an elastic hem, and a long sleeve with a cuff. Please note you will be making the blouse version, not the dress version in this workshop.
Liesl + Co Geneva V-neck Blouse - This classic blouse includes a little twist! In addition to the elegant, deep-but-not-revealing V neck, the classic shirt-tail hem, and the center-back pleat, this pattern includes two sleeve options: a 3/4-length lantern sleeve and a gentle 3/4-length bell sleeve. This pattern includes cup sizes to help you get a great fit.
