Pussy Bow Blouse

Sew Over It – Pussy Bow Blouse

Having seen the lovely Lisa Comfort from Sew Over It some beautiful versions of this pattern I was excited to try this pattern.

I found some lovely viscose Challis – Black with redflowers on ebay – OhSewCraftltd for my first version this fabric was brilliant a really lovely weight viscose lovely drape and really soft.

I loved the first version so much I quickly ordered some more viscose this time from The Textile Centre, this was a finer viscose challis and seemed to crease very easy but was still lovely for the finished blouse.

There are 2 Versions to make 1 – Keyhole neckline 2- lower v neckline

The instructions for this pattern were really excellent so clear and well explained. The only tiny thing to take care on was the seam allowance for the neck-tie were different to the rest of the pattern, so do keep checking seam allowances.

I liked that the sleeve gathers into a thin cuff, I didn’t use interfacing and I thought it was fine without. There’s a fabric loop for the button maybe to help people avoid button holes? I think it’s quicker to do a button hole but I did do the loops as I’d already cut the cuffs before I read this and would have needed to extend the cuff for a button hole.

Overall 10 out of 10 from me for this pattern. I think I need a white version for my spring wardrobe next !

I made size UK 12 & Version 2
