Buy the Honey Top sewing pattern from Fibre Mood. The Honey Top is a dazzling example of the statement collar trend. A romantic ruffled trim graces the full length of the collar. Don’t want to overdo the ruffles? This brilliant boxy blouse has charm even with a back-to-basics look, with just a simple collar band and a button placket. Honey drapes beautifully with a subtle A-line created by the gathers at the back. The sleeves are finished with gathers and ties at the bottom.

This is a boxy, short length blouse with options for a frilled collar (with a stand), a frill covering the front button band, and three-quarter sleeves with long ties at the cuffs. I made mine in viscose, which worked very well, but it can also be made in more structured fabrics such as cotton or linen and in warmer fabrics like flannel, or even lightweight corduroy.
The pattern is available through the Fibre Mood magazine, or as an individual pdf. The pdf is layered or you can have the multi-size pattern printed. Seam allowances need to be added to the magazine version, but the individual sized layered printing comes with seam allowances printed on. The multi-size pattern has seam allowances included but not printed on. The reason I’m pointing this out is because the instructions with multi-size pdf make no mention of the seam allowance, which I had to research to find out is 1 cm.
If you make all the frills it’s quite an involved make, just because of the number of steps, and care needs to be taken to get the gathers even round the collar. There’s nothing more tricky than that, however, and the pattern is well cut and comes together well. I found the set-in sleeves went in easily, as did the collar and stand once assembled with the frill.
I made a straight UK size 12 with no modifications and felt it was true to size. The length finishes at my high hip (I’m 5’ 4”) so if you’re much taller or want a longer blouse, check the length before cutting.
The instructions are sparse and assume a fair amount of knowledge. There are line drawings but I thought these lacked clarity in places. Because of that, for anyone who hasn’t made a blouse before, this isn’t a good pattern to start with. Nevertheless, it’s a lovely design and I enjoyed making it. The variety of woven fabrics which can be used means I’ll definitely make more.

I’ve been looking at the statement collars around and the enormous ones are just not for me. However the Honey Blouse in the Fibremood magazine No 12 caught my eye.
It’s a fairly boxy shape with a subtle A-line cut created by the gathers at the back.
The optional frills on the collar and button band brings it bang up to date.
I went all out and opted for the frills to the collar and the button band.
I did however make some changes.
I wanted to wear the Honey now, in the cooler months, so for warmth I needed to length both the body and the arms.
I also couldn’t live with the tie’s to the cuffs which whilst pretty, are not practical for every day life.
So I lengthened the body by 10cm and the sleeve length by the same. I made the size according to my bust size.
I changed the sleeve shape and added a cuff but there’s more details about that on my blog.
It’s quite a technical make and Fibremood assumes that you do have a good bit of experience behind you, based on the instructions which are mostly diagrams, which I like.
It needed time and patience to get those frills even and neat, especially around the corners of the collar!
