Instructions
Step 1
For sewing a blouse, choose light blouse fabrics, cambric, chiffon, crepe satin, crepe de Chine, knitted fabric, viscose and others. However, please note that if you do not have good tailoring skills, then try not to sew from silk fabrics, as they are difficult to process. This requires certain skills and abilities.
Step 2
Choose your favorite blouse model in a fashion magazine. Using tracing paper, copy the pattern according to your size. Spread the pattern out on the wrong side of the fabric, folded in half right side in. Trace the outline of the pattern with tailor's chalk. Leave a 1.5 cm seam allowance on each side. Use sharp scissors to cut out the details of the blouse.
Step 3
Sweep all darts, shoulders and sides. Avoid sewing seam allowances to make it easier to sew seams on the sewing machine later without removing the basting.
Step 4
Baste the sleeve and sew it by hand with basting stitches into the armhole. Try on a blouse. If necessary, adjust the product according to your figure: increase or decrease the darts, shoulder and side seams. Fix all corrections with safety pins. Then sweep all the cuts over your corrections and try again. If you are comfortable with the fit of the blouse, you can sew on a sewing machine.
Step 5
Sew darts. Press them to one side. Next, sew the shoulder and side seams. Cut the allowances to 0.7-1 cm and sew with a zigzag stitch or overlock stitch. Press them on the back.
Step 6
Next, process the sleeve in the same way and sew it into the armhole. Cut the allowances of each seam close to the stitching, overcast them together and press to the side of the sleeve.
Step 7
Finish the neckline of the blouse. If the model does not involve any collar or ties, then sew a one-piece hem or bias tape. Unscrew it to the wrong side and sew it with a blindstitch by hand. Iron the piping.
Step 8
If you want to sew on a collar, then fold the collar details right sides to each other, mark the middle line. Sew the collar sections on a typewriter. Cut the corners close to the stitching and turn to the right side. Iron the detail. Sew the collar into the neckline, connecting the middle of the collar and back. Fold over and sew an allowance along the inside of the collar.
Step 9
Tuck the bottom of the blouse twice and sew on a typewriter. Iron the finished product. Remove the basting.
