Our Top 10 Blouse Sewing Patterns
Blouse Sewing Patterns are consistently among our best selling styles and lend themselves perfectly to all year round sewing. They make a versatile addition to any handmade wardrobe as they can be paired with both skirts and trousers to create different looks, as well as being dressed up or down.
With this in mind I've pulled together my favourite blouse patterns, including those with both short and long sleeves, as well as styles perfect for taking you from day to night. Read on to discover my ten favourite blouse sewing patterns...
Maison Fauve • Tempete Blouse Sewing Pattern
I love how Maison Fauve have played with their signature pleat detailing for the Tempete Blouse sewing pattern to create a modern draped silhouette.
This sewing pattern includes options for both a long sleeved blouse, as pictured above, and a sleeveless option making it a great year round style. It's both perfect for an evening out but equally would work well as a more casual style. I recently saw a very similar style in Zara made in a lightweight denim which I'd definitely like to use as inspiration.
The Assembly Line • Tie Bow Blouse Sewing Pattern
When designing the Tie Bow Blouse sewing pattern, Anki, designer and founder of The Assembly Line, wanted to create a classic shape with a victorian vibe. She also has a love of pussy bows as you can see below. However they're not to everyone's taste and sometimes they're just a little too much for every occasion so, with that in mind, the tie cleverly buttons on and off at the back.
The Assembly Line recently posted a lovely customer make of the Tie Bow Blouse made in a shiny black fabric which just looked fantastic, you can view it here, it's perfect for a special occasion or dressed down with jeans.
Merchant and Mills • Edie Top & Dress Sewing Pattern
Designed by Carolyn Denham, founder and owner of Merchant and Mills, the balloon sleeves of this simple blouse and dress are the only detail that it needs in order to stand out.
Less is most definitely more with the Edie Top & Dress. The full sleeves are gathered with a tie which is threaded through a buttonhole, alternatively you can omit this buttonhole and insert elastic instead. This is a style that I definitely want to make!
Friday Pattern Company • The Wilder Top & Dress Sewing Pattern
The dress version of the Wilder by Friday Pattern Company is a much loved style over on Instagram, and I think the blouse is sometimes overlooked though it really doesn't deserve to be. I've made the short sleeved version a few times now, it's a really easy style to make, easier than it looks and more importantly it's a great style for taking you from day to evening.
There's also an option for 3/4 sleeves for the colder months which could easily be extended to a full sleeve.
Liberty Fabrics • Thea Boho Sleeve Shirt Sewing Pattern
A constant favourite with our customers, the Thea Boho Sleeve Shirt sewing pattern by Liberty is a loose-fitting button-front blouse with a range of different sleeve options which dramatically change the look of this truly versatile style.
Featuring elasticised, tri-section puff sleeves with a keyhole back opening which fastens with ties and that can also be worn at the front it's one that I'm really keen to make.
Maison Fauve • Bellini Blouse Sewing Pattern
If statement sleeves aren't for you then this stylish blouse by Maison Fauve could be the one for you. It has a straight cut with decorative pleats at the shoulders and also at the back.
You can choose to make the Bellini Blouse with or without buttons at the front and either with or without sleeves making it a truly versatile sewing pattern and one that you'll return to again and again.
Puff and Pencil • Tie Blouse and Cone Sleeve Sewing Pattern
Designed in Denmark, the Tie Blouse and Cone Sleeve sewing pattern is an open blouse with a v-neck and a loose fit. It has an opening with two ties. The cone sleeve is a flared statement sleeve.
I love that you can mix and match this style with other sleeves from Puff and Pencil by either purchasing additional digital sleeve patterns or using the sleeve shapes from their other patterns.
The Assembly Line • Billow Blouse Sewing Pattern
The Billow Blouse sewing pattern by The Assembly Line is a voluminous blouse, gathered at the rounded neck with elastic. It also features billowing raglan sleeves with elastic cuffs.
Relatively easy to make, this statement blouse is sure to become a wardrobe staple. It's another style that I'm really keen to make.
