Feminine to formal: Fabulous Blouse Sewing Patterns
Whether you want a formal blouse for work or a casual top for home, this is a great collection of blouse sewing patterns with easy, vintage and casual options.
While I normally live in T-shirts and jeans, when I want to feel more feminine, I turn to my blouse sewing patterns. When I put a blouse on, I feel like I’m throwing my Mum uniform away and being that little bit more stylish and put together. They were also a staple when I was sewing a work wardrobe too. Blouse and tailored pants are the classic office-wear sewing patterns.

Blouses work best with lightweight fabric with some drape. Chiffon, crepe de chine, silk and voile are great choices for sewing a blouse. Also, do a wrinkle test before you buy so you know whether you’re going to have to spend lots of time ironing (or whether you’re going to look crumpled when you take off your jacket.
