My Latest Make - Butterick 6801 - April 2021

This week I can finally reveal my Spring blouse of dreams! I have an all time favourite ready to wear blouse I've worn on the vlog a few times and received so many questions about which pattern it was I decided to recreate it and this is the result. It isn't an identical replica, but has lots of the key features - a V neck, yoke, balloon sleeves and a stand up collar. I had to hack the pattern to add a ruffle on the collar and across the back yoke, which I also added and there is a detailed tutorial I produced to show you exactly how to do this and I have included a link to the tutorial below. You could do it on any blouse pattern with a stand up collar. I also used the burrito method to line the yoke and encase all of the seams and have included a link to this tutorial too. This was such a fun make and I am absolutely in love with the fabric, it is a linen, viscose mix and the colour palette is perfect for bringing a bucket load of vibrancy to your Spring handmade wardrobe. Every time I pull it out of my handmade wardrobe I smile and my spirits are lifted.
