The Tie Bow Blouse Sewing Pattern by The Assembly Line is a modern blouse with classic detailing and a subtle Victorian influence. Designed in Sweden, it combines a clean silhouette with softly shaped sleeves and an optional bow tie, allowing you to change the character of the blouse depending on how you choose to wear it.
The design features bust darts for shaping and a neat standing collar. The detachable bow tie fastens with buttons at the back of the collar, so it can easily be added for a more distinctive look or removed for simpler everyday styling. Pleats at the sleeve create gentle volume before finishing in buttoned cuffs.
Designed for light to midweight woven fabrics, the Tie Bow Blouse works particularly well in fabrics with enough drape to soften the sleeve and bow details.

Sewing tips:
Take time when sewing and pressing the standing collar for a clean finish

Why we recommend this pattern: The Tie Bow Blouse balances classic shirt-making details with The Assembly Line's contemporary Scandinavian aesthetic. The optional bow is particularly useful, giving you the choice between a more distinctive statement and a simpler everyday blouse.
