Hi everyone,
This week I'm sharing inspiration for blouses. This is due in part to the #sewaprilblouse24 being run by @clothedit and @theyorkshiresewgirl. Please head over to their channels to see all the t&c of the challenge over on Instagram.
The blouse patterns I have chosen to inspire you are:
The Be Mine blouse by @PatternEmporium
The Bellini blouse by @MaisonFauve
The Hannah blouse by @atelierjupe
The Zenith blouse by @MaisonFauve
The blouse by @theavidseamstress7604
I can't wait to see what you make. Which blouse is your favourite? let me know in the comments.
I would love it if you'd like, comment and subscribe please.
I also have a Ko-fi account where you can support me by buying me a Ko-fi, this is much appreciated:

Hi Cara. Just found your channel and subscribed. I love sewing but have lost the last fabric and pattern shop near to me so your channel popped up at the right time. I am going back through your play list now and love seeing the patterns made up. I am always unsure when they are on the bolt. Sorry to hear about your dog. We lost our little one two years ago and now just have the one. Now off to watch some more of your videos.

@sosewmad Месяц назад

Ah that's so lovely of you! Great to have you here, sorry to hear your fabric shop has closed, I hope you can find an alternative, nothing like a rummage in fabric 😅, stay in touch, I'm always happy to answer questions etc

Your obvious delight with each one makes this video a real pleasure to watch as well. I'm across the world in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S. - thanks for sharing what you have made!

@sosewmad Месяц назад

Thank you, I adore the be mine top!

@imamonstr Месяц назад

Ohhh I love the idea of just sewing down the button placket when the blouse goes on over your head ! The blouse pattern is so cute and the fun pattern reminds me of some higher end retail stores that sell them seasonally. I also adore that you're using embroidered cottons right now - I am too but i haven't started sewing them up yet ! This is definitely inspiring me to get going!

@sosewmad Месяц назад

Ah that's great! I'm so glad I gave inspired you

A lovely selection of blouse patterns they are all inspiring for the sew a blouse April. Beautiful choices of fabric for each of your blouses you have sewn and shared. Having seen your Beautiful Maison Fauve blouse in real life I know how beautiful it is along with the fabric. Cara you are so right about cream it is a great stable colour all year round. Thank you Cara for a great Vlog. You have inspired another Maison Fauve Cicadella blouse 😊

All the blouses are beautiful , lovely choice of fabrics. I too bought the Sewing magazine simply because of the Hannah blouse ' free' pattern, but when I looked at the instructions I put it back in its envelope !!!! I'm hoping that there will be a sew along soon on RU-vid , but until then I'll simply admire yours😃

Beautiful fabric choices paired with the patterns. That’s a skill all its own if you ask me. I have made something up and loved it, made it again in a different fabric and had a total fail. I’m a big fan of a white blouse/shirt/tee.

I think they were all very pretty, too hard to pick a fave. I just found your channel during all the stitch festival vlogs on YT. Altho I am a quilter, not a fashion sewist, I do enjoy fashion and would like to sew my own clothes. So, I subscribed to your channel and a few others to pick up tips and tricks. Look forward to seeing all your makes.

@sosewmad Месяц назад

Ah that's lovely, great to have you here, welcome on board, I wish I could quilt, I think the designs are sensation x

@suepalmer1261 Месяц назад

Lovely blouses Cara. I made the Hannah blouse last week, I should have sized down, so will next time. It does mean tracing it out again 👎🏻 not my favourite thing either. I made the same sleeves as you but chopped off the gathered bit as I wasn’t in love with the look on me. I much prefer the plain short sleeve I was left with. That’s the best bit, we can pick and choose what we like! The instructions were confusing, especially the front yolk but after a bit of head scratching I figured it out. As always your sewing looks impeccable - brilliant makes ❤

@sosewmad Месяц назад

Thank you so much Sue, I may yet alter the sleeves, but I'm going to wear it and see, I'm with you on the instructions, super weird! Lovely to hear from you, thank you for your lovely words

@downtoearthsewing Месяц назад

Lovely blouses! I have also faked buttonholes before, most of the time I can get away with it. When a garment is almost done, I am either to eager to wear it or afraid to ruin it by messing up the buttonholes!

@sosewmad Месяц назад

I'm totally the same! 😁

@kathygann7632 Месяц назад

About 50 years ago I had a sewing machine that could chew up buttonholes. I used to sew on buttons then put snaps behind them so I didn’t ruin them. I bought a new Viking sewing machine, but for a month I didn’t make any buttonholes because I was thrilled with my machine and didn’t want to be disappointed. Finally, my husband, who didn’t sew at all, said this is ridiculous and followed the directions o make several perfect buttonholes. No disappointment at all!

Hi Cara, I like all your blouses but think my favourite is the Be mine blouse. I’m thinking of trying to enter this challenge(/don’t hold your breath though) as I’m preparing for sewing retreat and have gifts to make for my little granddaughters. I have just bought the Roscoe blouse by true bias after seeing Lucy at sew essentials version. It has a similar look to the Hannah blouse you made. My other option is the Pussy bow blouse that I bought in a kit a while ago from soi. I enjoyed your video so thank you. Happy blouse wearing! 😊

@sosewmad Месяц назад

Thank you, no I made it to my measurements, no alterations

@patriciaweekes2291 Месяц назад

I’ve made two be mine, the first one to my measurements but the shoulders were too large and it generally felt too big so I sized down on the next one as lifting pins and needles sized down and I got the perfect fit. It’s brilliant that the pattern has fba pattern pieces made for you so you don’t have to do it. Very useful.

Hello and a big hug from the Chicago area! I just discovered your channel about an hour ago, and I think we are cut from the same fabric, lol. I also am interested in finding a good blouse pattern, I love the 5 you've shown us. I also so love the fabrics, especially the ones you used in the first one, and the Hannah Blouse. (I love the beiges and blue is my favorite) Can you please repeat where you got the blue print fabric from? I couldn't get it clearly. I have subscribed, and look forward to watching and listening to more of you. You also got me ( and I'm sure many others) with the 'replace buttonholes with stitches' idea! Thank you :) Love your enthusiastic and endearing personality!

@sosewmad Месяц назад

Gosh thank you so much, it's absolutely lovely to hear from you! Big hugs from east Sussex to you ❤️ the fabric is from Dot to Dot studio in East Hoathley I'm not certain if they still have it, but they do have a website. Can't believe you are in Chicago that blows my mind!

@lizlisle7361 Месяц назад

My favourite is 'the blouse'! I plan to make it - avidly! I love that under sea fabric, Cara. What a shame you don't recommend it for this blouse but that's helpful advice 😕

Atelier Jupe patterns are like that. I'm like you, I dislike tracing intensely. They have improved, in that they now include seam allowances, which they didn't used to. I can't say that I'm a fan of Atelier Jupe patterns, although I do like many of their designs. What a great collection of blouses, lovely fabrics, too. It's impossible to choose a favourite, because they are all gorgeous.

Thank you so much, you're right it's hugely frustrating to have to trace, I love their designs but have been put off by their instructions I'm afraid! I'm glad I carried on, I do love the blouse, thank you for your lovely words

love the last blouse you had on at the end, all the other ones were lovely but if I were wearing them I am too short and short waisted to wear big sleeves and full blousy garments. Barb

Hi so lovely to hear from you and that you are inspired by one of the options, that's lovely to hear

I love all your blouses. I like the Madison Fauve patterns. Love the embroidery fabric but I’m in love with the Embroidery fabric with the sequins. I didn’t catch wher you bought it , would you mind letting me know, maybe they still have some. Thanks

Thank you so much for getting in touch. I brought the sequin embroidery anglais from Knighton fabrics on facebook

So agree about Atelier Jupe patterns. Was not happy when even a dress pattern bought at full price had to be traced…. Actually in the end just got the pdf version, anything is better than tracing. To be fair the on line shop had explained that tracing would be required… people who read always have an advantage in life!😳

Lol I know exactly what you mean! I hate tracing too, life is too short 😂

Beautiful blouses! My favourites are the Be Mine and the Bellini. Looking forward to seeing more of your April blouse makes. Happy sewing, Cara!

Hi Laura, thank you so much, have you got any sewing going on at the moment?

@laurajones4088 Месяц назад

@@sosewmad a sewing fail, but I had enough fabric left for a tee shirt. I have some beautiful Batik Rayon fabrics for the Be Mine. I also have some gorgeous cream embroidery anglaise in an unusual leaf print, but haven’t decided on a pattern yet.

Hi Cara, absolutely love all the blouses featured..😍 thanks for showcasing them beautifully. Ive made “the blouse” recently as my first ever foray into blouse patterns and buttonholes , absolutely love the fit and am so pleased with it, however, I really dislike seeing the white inside the neckline when the top two buttons are undone. Would you mind explaining how you place the facing please and what size, does it just sit at the front? How do you finish it at the placket etc Many thanks. 😊

@sosewmad Месяц назад

Hi, if I'm honest it wasn't as glamorous as all that, especially as I put mine in after the blouse was finished so I literally traced around the top part of the blouse where I wanted it to be faced and added a piece that shape right side to wrong side, I unpicked the button placket so I could slip it in there and also the collar stand. It's not pretty but works. I'd use a piece like a coat facing in order to fix it in the future. Hope that helps

It's a tricky choice isn't it! Can't wait to make it

Love all your blouse Cara all gorgeous. Do you have to do an fba on any ? X

@sosewmad Месяц назад

Hi Patricia, luckily no, they all fit with no adjustments. I haven't ever needed to complete a FBA. The pattern emporium blouse does have several FBA options should you need them, so it save you working it out yourself
