Some weeks ago I participated in another pattern test for Itch to Stitch, the Galicia Top. It is described as “a sweet little woven blouse that can be dressed up or down. From the front, flattering gathers at the front neckline and top of the raglan sleeves add interest and shaping. From the back, the […]

Style Arc Sissy-Blouse
The next blouse I sewed was the Sissy Blouse from Style Arc. I sewed this blouse once a few years ago and it was worn out and discolored at the end. Fabric: The fabric is from stoffe.de. It is the same as the coral-colored blouse with smocking, only in cream. However, it has more structure, […]

After I have cleaned out my closet rigorously in the spring, I really needed a few new blouses. I started with a simple shirt blouse. Fabric: The fabric is an incredibly soft cotton batiste that I’ve had in my closet for years. Unfortunately, I no longer know exactly where I got it, but it could […]
Blouses with smocking technique
Last year I had taken a class on creating a Chanel-style jacket with Sebastiana Di Francesco Marchionna of Marchionna Couture in Moers, Germany (highly recommended!). We stayed in casual contact, and that’s how I learned that she was now also offering classes on zoom. In one of those classes, we sewed a blouse with a […]

This is a basic shirt pattern with different options for sleeves and collar. […]

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and enjoy the last days of the year. Here is one last garment that I made in 2016 and that I want to show you. I finished this little blouse already last summer, but somehow I did not get around to take pictures. Later, I totally forgot […]
Itch to Stitch Zamora Blouse
It has been a bit quite here on the blog. I was working on another project and then went on holidays. But now I am back and will try to catch up with my backlog. There was no June bra as promised. Somehow it did not happen. I already had an idea and pulled out some […]
