How to sew a blouse: patterns and master classes. Sewing a blouse for girls DIY festive blouse

Sewing a beautiful, fashionable and comfortable blouse is not at all difficult. If you have a sewing machine and a little skill in operating it, you can diversify your wardrobe with trendy items that will also be exclusive.

Fabrics for sewing blouses

Blouses with a loose silhouette made from flowing fabrics, such as chiffon, look extremely impressive. Simple blouses made from transparent fabrics such as organza that hold their shape are suitable for a slender woman. However, such materials require special processing. It is better for an inexperienced dressmaker to choose cheaper fabrics at first. For summer, cotton, such as gauze, is suitable. It is easy to sew from it, and things look very beautiful and feminine. Learn to sew comfortably on linen fabrics. The pattern of a T-shot silhouette blouse with straight cuts along the bottom of the front and sleeves can become an element for sewing a stylish set. The product can be decorated with fringe made of elongated threads, choose jewelry in ethnic style and wear with jeans, a long skirt or short shorts.

Modeling options

The light blouse pattern we offer in this article can serve as a basis for modeling. You can change the shape of the neckline by making a large triangular neckline on the back, rather than a boat neckline on the front.

The sleeves can be finished with a wide bell or fluffy frill, or you can make cuffs.

By removing large allowances for a loose fit, adding vertical darts and inserting a zipper into the side seam, you can create a blouse with a fitted silhouette. In this case, it is recommended to choose fabrics with elastane.

The bottom of the shelves can be made straight or rounded at different levels. If you make side seam allowances of 2 cm, this will allow you to make beautiful cuts along the bottom of the blouse.

Features of sewing using simplified patterns

Quick blouse patterns for beginner tailors are very convenient, as they do not require precise fitting to the figure. And this is very important when it is not possible to use outside help during fitting. Famous couturiers do not ignore the simplest patterns of blouses like those presented in the article. Using such patterns, they focus on the quality, texture and padding of fabrics.

The simplest blouse patterns can consist of just one piece. Take a look at our proposed diagram. Numerous precise measurements are not needed to construct it. For a standard figure, it is enough to know the chest circumference, product length and sleeve length. These measurements are also needed to determine the amount of fabric. Typically, sewing a blouse with a fabric width of 1 m 45 cm requires one blouse length and one sleeve length.

Blouse for any figure

This blouse can be sewn in one evening. It only has two seams. It is put on over the head.

A blouse requires 1.5 m of fabric with a width of 145-155 cm. It can be cotton sateen, silk chiffon or other softly draping material.

You will need a blouse pattern. Here is a pattern made for sizes 38-40. (chest circumference 88-92 cm). The model is supposed to be made of thin fabric, a loose silhouette, with a large allowance for a loose fit.

If your size is larger, then you need to increase the width of the blouse by shortening the sleeve length. For such a simple model, it is not necessary to make a paper template. The blouse pattern shown in this article can be chalked on the back side of your fabric. For the most inexperienced, we suggest making a paper pattern. To do this, take a sheet of thick paper measuring 77x82 cm. Transfer our diagram onto it, make changes if necessary, and cut out the pattern.

Before cutting, the fabric should be decated, that is, ironed with a hot iron through a damp cloth. This is done so that the material shrinks and does not decrease in size after you sew a product from it and wash it.

Fold the fabric in half. Connect the top cut to the bottom. Then fold in half again, bringing the edges together. You should end up with a square or rectangle with folds on two adjacent sides. Place the pattern close to the folds and press the paperweight down to keep the fabric and pattern in place while you draw and cut. The blouse pattern is outlined. Seam allowances are given at the bottom, side edges and neckline. Along the neck - 1 cm, on the side - 1.5 cm, at the bottom and on the hem of the sleeves - 3 cm. The cut out part is a single piece of fabric, similar to a large cross with a round hole in the middle.

Overlock all edges except the neckline. Fold the blouse right side inward, align the edges, baste and stitch the side seams and sleeve seams with a single stitch. Iron them. Turn the hem allowances for the bottom of the sleeves, front and back to the wrong side and baste. Sew the stitches, leaving small areas unstitched for threading a narrow elastic band.

The neckline must be treated with bias tape so that it forms a drawstring for threading the elastic into it. To do this, measure the length of the blouse neck, 1 cm away from the cut. From the remnants of the fabric, cut strips 3 cm wide along the bias thread. Connect them into a ribbon and stitch them to the neckline, folding them right sides together. Press to the wrong side, slightly stretching the unsewn edge. Finish this edge with a zigzag or overlock stitch. Baste the binding 1 cm from the edge. Stitch, leaving a small hole for the elastic. If you insert a lace instead of an elastic band and arrange the ties, you can adjust the depth of the neckline according to your desire and mood. A lace or wide ribbon tied in a bow will become a decorative element.

A prerequisite for a good fit

Blouse patterns for beginners in no way imply carelessness when sewing. All seams must be treated against fraying. Wet heat treatment is necessary for each seam. This is not difficult and does not require a lot of time and extensive experience, but it always affects the appearance of the finished product. Wet heat treatment is the first rule of professionals.

What to look for when buying fabric

And the last recommendation for a novice dressmaker is that when buying fabric, you should pay special attention to the harmony of colors. Even if the fabric is very fashionable and expensive, but the color does not match the skin tone of your face, eyes and hair, then the item will be “lost” and will not bring the expected joy and satisfaction. The fabric should be selected with reference to your entire wardrobe. Think about what you will wear with your new blouse. It will be suitable for an everyday set or will be focused on special occasions. Go through your skirts, trousers, shoes and bags. With such a balanced and thoughtful approach, you will not make mistakes and will receive great joy both from the process of creating an outfit and from the compliments that people will undoubtedly give you.

How to sew the simplest blouse for beginners? How to sew a blouse at home with your own hands? How much fabric do you need for a blouse and what fabric should it be made from? This and much more is always of first interest before sewing a fashionable blouse. In my master class I will tell you how to sew a summer blouse quickly and easily. The style of the blouse is loose-fitting without a collar with a placket in front.

A simple DIY rustic blouse that is sure to brighten up your wardrobe. We look at the photo and sew the blouse ourselves.

Model selection

This time I decided to sew a blouse or a vest in a rustic style from staple fabric with a floral pattern. Why rustic style? Nowadays it has become common to wear clothes in ethnic style, eco style and rustic style. All these styles readily took root in everyday wear, i.e. in casual style. You can find out more about rustic and other styles in articles and.

What material is best to make a blouse from?

But that’s not the only reason why I was attracted to such a simple style. To sew clothes in a rustic style, natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, wool, and silk are used. They help maintain healthy skin and give a feeling of comfort to the whole body. I have already written about the advantages of natural fabrics in an article.

What to wear with a rustic blouse?

With the right selection of things, you can learn how to create different looks: business, casual, and in some cases evening.

For example:

Pairing a rustic blouse with jeans for a casual style;
to create a business style: blouse +, trousers, jacket;
evening style: blouse + skirt/pants + ;
to create an ethno style you can use a blouse and suitable accessories;
for those who like experimenting, you can try mixing different styles. Then it will be possible to get yours;

Another main advantage is the versatility of a rustic blouse in terms of size and age. This blouse will look great on both thin girls and those with curvy figures. In addition, it can be worn by both young girls and mature women.

The role of rustic style in the world around us

My experience confirms that after using the blouse I became much closer to nature. I felt like an integral part of it. I felt a strong connection to my homeland and my nation. If you believe that the right clothes, namely clothes made from natural fabrics, change consciousness, this means a way out of many problems.

The very simplicity and ease of the rustic style throws aside the desire to look expensive and glamorous. The desire to live large and spend resources on expensive clothes, thereby proving one’s worth.

The most unfortunate thing is that fashion is changeable and requires replenishment of the wardrobe every year. Throwing old clothes into a landfill causes global pollution of nature, especially due to synthetic materials. Just imagine, every year the consumer boom for clothing is growing rapidly, thanks to low prices for cheap, low-quality items.

By using natural fabrics in production, there is a chance to keep the planet clean and healthy. After all, our health and the health of our future depends on it. Natural materials decompose easily and do not harm the earth like synthetic materials do.

If at this point you are thinking about my words, find smarter ways to get rid of old things. For example, alter clothes - do it or donate it to charity. But it is best to buy or sew clothes as needed. Only when it is really necessary, and not “just once.”

How much fabric do you need for a blouse?

To sew a blouse you will need:

Fabric (in my case it’s a staple) – product length + sleeve length + 30.0 cm.
Glue () – 20.0 cm.
Threads in the color of the fabric – 1 pc. for sewing, 3 pcs. for overlock
Buttons – 3 pcs.
Finishing braid – 30.0 cm (depending on the depth of the fastener)

Cut out blouses

One day, while sorting through my piles of fabrics and unfinished items, I came across a dress. She pulled him out of captivity and carefully placed him in a visible place. I thought and thought about sewing it for me? Just the day before I finished sewing myself classic trousers link, the idea arose by itself.

Cutting a loose ruffled blouse with your own hands for beginners is not at all difficult. You can take a pattern 1-2 sizes larger (the size depends on the degree of freedom of the blouse) with sleeves and a chest dart. Or make changes to your pattern by adding extra freedom in the chest, waist, hips and sleeves. If you're having trouble altering your pattern, take a look here.

Sewing a blouse

Before moving on to sewing, I first tried on the dress to confirm the length of the blouse and make some changes. After that I started work. If you don’t know where to start trying on, you will find answers to questions in the article.

Processing chest darts

First I sewed the bust darts and ironed them to the top.

How to sew a blouse with a yoke on the back

Now you can move on to cutting out the yoke on the back. The yoke has a curly shape, so during fitting, its position is marked on the back. Then fold the back in half and align the intended line.

From the resulting line, an allowance width of 1.5 cm is laid upward and cut along the new line. The cut off upper part of the back will serve as a template.

On the back, place a counter or bow fold (during the fitting, I did not take the excess into the side seams and armhole, so I made a fold) and stitch it to the width of the allowance.

If you find unfamiliar words, then contact and.

Modeling a blouse with a yoke

Using the template, cut out 2 pieces of the yoke from the fabric. Add an allowance of 1.5 cm along the bottom edge and another 1.5 cm (the missing amount on the template that was left when cutting out the yoke). As a result, you need to add an allowance of 3.0 cm along the bottom edge of the yoke. If you do not take into account the increase of 1.5 cm, the back will be shorter.

Connecting the yoke to the product

Take one piece of the yoke and attach it to the back with the right sides facing inward, align the cuts and baste the yoke.

Then take the second piece of the yoke, align the front side of the yoke with the back of the back, align the cuts and baste.

Sew the yoke parts to the back.

Press the seam with an iron.

This way the allowances should be inside between the yokes.

On the front side, place a finishing stitch 0.1 - 0.2 cm from the seam.

Processing side seams

Basic blouse

Lay the blouse out on a flat surface, aligning the side seams and the yoke seams. Pin them together with tailor's pins. For ease of installation, pin around the armhole and neckline. Draw the armhole using the reference marks after fitting. Add an allowance of 1.5 cm, cut off the excess.

Align the neck depth with the reference points on the shelf and back (if any).

Cut off the excess under No. 1. Now set aside a facing width of 3.5 - 4.0 cm from the neck line and decorate it with a smooth line. From this line up, set aside an allowance of 0.7 - 1.0 cm. Cut out the resulting parts - they will serve as templates for facing No. 2.

How to cut a neck facing

Transfer the resulting templates onto paper.

Using paper templates, cut out the facing parts: 2 back facing parts (with folds), 2 front facing parts with cuts. Add allowances of 0.7 - 1.0 cm.

Glue with adhesive fabric 1 part of the back facing and 1 part of the front facing, consisting of 2 symmetrical parts.

How to sew a front placket on a blouse

To process the fastener you will need 2 strips. The length of the straps = the length of the fastener + 1.5 cm, the width of the 1st strap (3.5 - 4.0 cm) + 1.0 cm multiplied by 2. It turns out 1 strap in a cut of 9.0 - 10.0 cm. Before processing the fastener, adhesive fabric is glued to half of both strips.

After that, loops are sewn on the right bar.

Before processing the fastener with strips, mark a frame in the center of the shelf with a width of 3.5 - 4.0 cm. It is drawn in the same way as a frame for a welt pocket. Then the frame is cut along the center line, not reaching the end of the frame by 1.5 cm. Next, the strips are basted along the intended lines; the cuts may not coincide due to the difference in allowances.

You will find how to process a pocket into a frame with a zipper in the article.

Sew the strips not reaching 1.5 cm to the end of the frame.

At the end, cut the frame into corners not reaching 0.1 - 0.2 cm from the lines.

On the wrong side, fasten the corner of the frame together with the slats on the machine.

Overlock the edges with an overlocker.

On the front side, place a finishing stitch along the frame.

Or decorate a blouse:

How to finish the neck of a blouse without a collar

To do this, you will need pre-glued neck facings.

We baste the facings to the front and back.

We grind it on a machine.

We cut the allowances to 0.5 cm.

Iron the seam allowances towards the facing.

Then we join the shoulder seams together with the facing. We sew the cut and iron it onto the back. This is one way! You can also pre-join the facing parts, finish the shoulder seams and only then stitch the facing around the entire circumference of the neckline. The facing seams should match the shoulder seams.

On the reverse side, cuts are placed on the curves, and on the front side, an edging is sewn in.

The cut of the bottom facing is folded and sewn to the product.

A finishing stitch is laid along the upper facing, while simultaneously securing the folded cut of the lower facing. Carefully iron the facing, trying not to move the iron from side to side. This will lead to deformation of the facing.

Sew a loop on the facing and sew on the buttons.

Sleeve processing

Stitch, overcast and press the seams on the sleeves.

Hosing of sleeves

According to the model, the bottom of the sleeves is designed with a slight bevel. To do this, measure 5.0 cm from the bottom of the sleeves along the top seams and draw a line. Trim off the excess.

To finish the bottom of the sleeves you will need bias tape made from the same fabric. Therefore, on a suitable piece of fabric we find an angle of 45 degrees and cut out 2 strips 3.5 cm wide and 20.0 - 25.0 cm long.

Then we sew stitches for assembly along the hem and the bottom of the sleeves.

How to finish the bottom of a sleeve with an edge stitch

Join the binding on the bias so that it is closed, and press the seam. Gather the bottom of the sleeve according to the circumference of the trim.

Place the trim at the bottom of the sleeve with the right side facing the back of the sleeve, aligning the edges and seams. Sew the binding to the sleeve.

Then go around the seam with tape, fold the cut and stitch again 0.1 - 0.2 cm from the fold.

Process the bottom of the second sleeve in a similar way.

Connecting sleeves to the product

Finishing the bottom of a blouse with a Moscow seam

Processing cuts

To process the bottom, you first need to process the side cuts. I processed the incisions with a Moscow suture. Why? If you process the cuts in the traditional way, i.e. with open cuts, then when worn, the allowances will bend to the front side. And sometimes they are even visible along with the stitching, especially in light fabrics. Therefore, in order to get the job done cleanly, I decided to process them with a Moscow seam.

First you need to cut off the allowances along the cuts to 0.5 cm and process them with a Moscow seam.

Sewing a loose blouse with your own hands in a rustic style is not difficult. It is enough to have experience working with a sewing machine. Many of you, after reading my article, will decide that sewing a blouse is easy and quick for me. But I can say right away that a few years ago, sewing a collarless blouse with straps was difficult for me. Why?

There just wasn't enough detailed information on the topic. I had to learn from my mistakes and draw conclusions. Now I am happy to share my many years of experience on how to sew a beautiful blouse with my own hands with you. I hope my master class on how to sew a summer blouse will bring you a lot of benefit.

It is not always possible to find in a store exactly the item that you think will fit perfectly into your wardrobe and emphasize your individual taste. And sometimes even a simple thing costs much more than its “real” cost, which completely discourages purchasing it. Then cutting and sewing skills come to the rescue, which will allow you to easily and quickly sew a beautiful blouse or skirt. Let's learn how to sew a blouse, having a minimum of relevant skills and experience behind you.

Photos of types of blouses

Depending on the design features, blouses are divided into 4 types:

With set-in sleeves;

"Raglan".

With one-piece sleeve.

Without sleeves.

At the same time, the named classification is not the only one, because there are many options for sewing them: neck cuts, collars, cut-off yokes, decor and much more. The blouse can be romantic, office, casual or any other style, have an A-shaped, fitted silhouette, be asymmetrical or have a variety of trims. Therefore, it is worth determining for yourself what exactly you would like to see in the end - a summer blouse for every day in the style a la "Carmen" or an option for the office - a strict American one.

Blouse patterns by types of sleeves

Items with set-in sleeves are especially appreciated among women who prefer convenience and simplicity. Pattern of such a blouse:

Raglan sleeves are characterized by seams running from the armpits to the neck. American armhole is the second popular name for this cut of women's blouses, tops and dresses. American pattern:

A blouse with a one-piece sleeve looks very laconic, gives a feeling of lightness and can visually expand the shoulder line, so this option is well suited for women with wide hips and narrow shoulders. Pattern for such an item of clothing with a chest dart and a one-piece sleeve:

A sleeveless blouse is best suited for summer: such a chiffon item in a woman’s wardrobe will be indispensable in the summer heat.

All patterns provided can be downloaded for free and printed on a suitable sheet of tracing paper to make it easier to transfer directly onto the fabric.

Master class: how to sew a blouse with your own hands

Is it possible to sew a simple cut blouse without using patterns? You can, and now we’ll look at how to sew a new thing in just 1-2 hours. To do this, it is better to purchase a flowing blouse fabric (chiffon, staple or another of your choice) measuring 60x150 cm. It is better to choose a more interesting color, since the style of the product itself is very simple. The sewing principle is as follows:

The result is such an interesting thing for the warm season:

Many novice dressmakers have noticed that even with strict adherence to all the parameters of the pattern and step-by-step master classes, the product is not always the right size. To avoid such mistakes, you should know some tricks:

learning to sew is worth using simple fabrics: wool, poplin, linen;
You need to sew the product only after trying it on: this step makes it possible to adjust the parameters of the parts and adjust them to your figure;
take any pattern as an idea, and always draw the diagrams yourself, calculating the parameters of the parts based on the characteristics of your figure;
Before cutting, treat any fabric with a hot iron under steam - the material will shrink a little;
We must not forget about the margin for freedom of movement - there are allowances for this;
Before sewing any parts, their seams must be ironed again with steam - without this manipulation, the item will look sloppy after sewing.

Consider the sequence: sewing blouses for girls 5-6 years.

We send patterns for free. We will also send you pattern this blouse comes in 5 different sizes.

To sew a blouse, I used embroidered towel made of fine linen fabric.

Uncover.

Pattern I used 122 size. Location patterns visible in the photo. In this blouse, the main decoration - embroidery - will be on the sleeves.

We cut out the front and back from the middle towel. If there is not enough fabric to cut the front and back from a towel, you can cut the back from white fabric that matches the structure. We leave 1 cm for seam allowances. We make the front and back parts with a fold. We also cut out the trim for the neckline, 52 cm long and 4 cm wide, taking into account allowances; facing of the front cut 13 cm long and 3 cm wide, including allowances; 2 cuffs 17 cm long and 4 cm wide with allowances; 2 bindings for edging sleeve cuts 15 cm long and 3 cm wide, including allowances.

Sewing.

We make the front cut. We apply the facing (front to front) to the place where the cut is planned along the line of the middle of the front. We turn the edges of both longitudinal sections of the facing towards the center and iron them. We pin the facing. The folded edges of the facing lie at the top, as can be seen in the photo.

We lay a straight line around the cut markings, as close as possible, literally close to the markings, while catching the folded edges of the facing.

This is the view from the back side:

Now we make a cut along the seams.

We turn the facing to the wrong side, iron the edges and sew at a distance of 5 mm. We turn the lower end of the facing and attach it with a transverse stitch.

View from both sides

We make cuts on the sleeves. We process the cuts with binding.

Fold the sewn binding right side to right side and make a diagonal stitch at the top of the end of the cut.

Iron on one side. The cuts have been processed.

Stitch the side seams of the blouse, leaving the side slits open.

We also sew seams on the sleeves.

We gather the lower sections of the sleeves to the size of the cuffs. To do this, we make a machine stitch with the largest step at a distance of 0.7 cm from the edge and tighten the thread.

Sew the cuffs to the bottom edge of the sleeve. To do this, apply the cuff to the bottom of the sleeve, front side to front; We make a stitch, also taking the turned-down short sections of the cuff.

To make a fastener on the cuff, we sew 2 thin rolls, 4 cm long, for an air loop. Turn the cuffs up.

Fold the cuffs in half with the wrong side inward, turn in the inner edge of the cuff, and attach the cuff to the sleeve. We make an air loop in one of the short sections of the cuff, and stitch the other section. After fitting, we will sew buttons there.

The sleeves are ready, you can sew them in.

We sew the sleeves into the armholes. Iron it.

Let's start processing the neck. At a distance of 0.7 cm from the edge of the neckline, machine stitch with the largest stitches. Tightening the thread, gather the neckline by 8 cm, the sleeves by 11 cm, and the back by 12 cm.

Preparing the edging tape; We apply it to the cut of the neckline, right side to front, turn the short sections of the binding to the wrong side and attach.

We prepare two colored laces for ties. We turn away the binding, bend it in half with the wrong side inward, and fold the inner longitudinal section of the binding. We put the ends of the ties inside the front parts of the edging tape. We attach the binding to the neck.

We iron the hem allowance for the bottom of the blouse and the side slits to the wrong side, then turn it under and adjust it at a distance of 0.5 mm from the edge. Smooth it out.

Sewing blouses for girls completed. You see how easy it is to sew such a blouse. A few hours of creativity and the blouse for the little fashionista is ready.
