Easy Pleated Blouse FREE Sewing Pattern

Easy Pleated Blouse FREE Sewing Pattern

So here is a blouse to represent you all in many different activities.  For lunch with a friend, taking a long trip, going to the doctor, or even hiking, this blouse will do it all, depending on what fabric you choose.  I have chosen silk because of its breathability in the soaring temperatures, particularly where I live here in Singapore.  This blouse will look great with shorts, pencil skirts, skinny jeans, and pajama pants, and it goes fantastic under a suit.

Materials:

• 1 1/2 yards of Silk, Georgette, Satin, Crepe, Gauze, or Rayon. It must drape and cling to the body.
• Suggested fabrics: Satin, Crepe, or Challis Rayon (this is what is used in the white version in the photos)
• One yard of 1-inch bias tape for beginners. For experienced sewers, a 1/2-inch satin bias is an option. Or you can make your own.
• Sewing thread
• Size 9 sewing needle.
• Rotary cutter and a large mat. Fiskars makes a good set if you don’t have one.
• Sewing machine
• Serger (optional)
