Heyhey,

so it got winter here, everything is white and its freezing but at least it stopped raining and being grey and depressing;) So I kinda started that blouse almost a year ago and finally finished it just before christmas, quite some time I know, but I like it anyhow and even though a blouse like this takes some time I plan on doing some more… isnt the fabric fun? I love it!

so thats the basic blouse pattern I found, I will look for the name of the pattern I used, its just so long ago, sorry (02-05-2013: found it: 104 of burda 1/2002)

I wanted a additional shoulder part, so I drew a line a few cm more to the front

and cut

add paper for the seam allowance to the front part

then draw a line where you like the back seam of the shoulder part to be, if you want it straight, make sure its in a right angle to the centre back

and cut, add paper to the cut at the back-part for the new seam allowance

then add the front-shoulder to the back-shoulder, seam on seam, cut the seam allowance off

draw it on another paper

and add seam allowance to the cut lines

your new shoulder part

my pattern

place the parts on the folded fabric, if you use a print like me make sure they all face the same direction

shoulder part, cuffs, collar and collar stand, need to be cut a second time of the folded fabric

cut in a few mm at the markings, like the shoulder line

or at the collar stand

the folds at blouse sleeve and the slit

to mark the end of the slit use a thick thread

and pull it through, knots at both ends, about 10cm long

use the same method the mark the darts

Next tuesday I’ll show you the next steps.😉 Any questions, ideas and wishes as always welcome!

keep sewing and smiling
