PUSSYCAT BOW BLOUSE

Here is another little blouse pattern, same body shape as the Kimono/Magyar blouse with the keyhole cut-outs that I recently posted the pattern for but this one buttons down the front and has a bow tied neck. The pattern pdf includes the front and back blouse pattern, with all seam allowances included. NB:There are measurements to cut the bow tie

but not an actual pattern. I have also added extra optional tucks on the pattern to help you make the hips a neater fit if you wish to do that. The sewing instructions are on the next page in this pdf.

Below is a diagram of how you could go about doing a Full Bust Adjustment on this type of pattern that I drew in answer to a blog reader’s question. Enjoy!
